Can fat injections be done under local anesthesia?

Asked By:lkj in Nyabing, AU

I have read on this site that many doctors perform facial fat injections under local anesthesia. Is there swelling after a local is administered? If yes, does this affect the doctor's ability to judge the appropriate amount of fat to inject?
