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: 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.

Answer: Lipo Hello. Thanks for your question and photos. You can go to the operating room for liposuction under local or general anesthesia. It depends on several factors, including the extension of the area where the Lipo will be practiced. If you will have a Lipo just for thighs, local anesthesia may be enough. Consult with your doctor. Best luck!
