I’m considering lipo to my outer and inner thighs. What are the pros/cons of local (sedation) Vs general anaesthetic for the procedure? Is there a difference in the amount of fat that can be removed?
Answer: Anesthesia Yes, there is a difference between the two types of anesthesia--local and general. Both can safely be used to do liposuction. With local anesthesia, the amount of fat removed and the number of sites treated is dependent upon how much local anesthesia can be used. This amount is calculated specifically for each patient based on weight. Under general anesthesia, more areas can be treated. There is a limit on how much fat should be removed per case. Local anesthesia does take longer to allow time for the anesthesia to be effective. Some surgeons, like myself, are very comfortable doing both, and some prefer general or local. With general anesthesia, an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist is also present in the room, and administering IV drugs to keep you asleep.

Answer: Thigh Liposuction, VASER 360 lipo, HD lipo legs with renuvion, spiral thigh lift, cellulite/cellfina/sculptra I find Its much easier to remove more fat and get more tightening when someone is asleep. It apperas you may have laxity that could use a thigh lifting or modified hidden scar thigh lift or internal heating along with liposuction and fat grafting to the buttock and hips. this is more complicated procedure than you think so please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: #liposuction Hi Theoretically the amount of fat that can be removed is the same however I nearly always do this procedure under a General anaesthetic As it is way more comfortable. My advice is that you should have a Brazilian buttlift because it is s much better vslue gor money proposition.RegardsDamien

Answer: When having lipo, can a doctor remove more fat under sedation/local or general anaesthetic? Limited liposuction can be done under local anesthesia. You do not want to be in pain during the procedure so that the surgeon must stop the procedure or do less than what is necessary. For this reason, general is a better option for my patients. I do not use local exclusively unless a small area of liposuction is planned.
