Please help. My previously trusted PS is trying to convince me to go under general anesthesia for a fat transfer to my face of about 60cc’s. He said without it, he can’t get enough fat. Yes I’m petite at 5’1” and 110 lbs. however I’ve resd accounts of people using less than GA to have fat pulled from multiple donor sites. He said if I don’t do GA, he can only use one donor site (thighs). I’m not ok with that because I don’t want my thighs any smaller. But GA is twice the price. Please help!!!
