Otoplasty. Is it done under general, local or IV?

Asked By:dl123 in Australia, AU

was wondering whether otoplasty is done under general or local? I'm 17, nearly 18 but kinda don't want to be awake. I've had bad experiences with local not being enough and I sometimes have adverse reactions to oral sedatives. Can you have a choice??
