Vaser Lipo. Is it safe to have 3L fat removed with local anaesthesia & IV sedation by cosmetic surgeon? (Photo)

Asked By:Whitsundays in Brisbane, AU

I am booked in for vaser lipo of the upper/lower abs next week by an Australian cosmetic surgeon who has advised I have about 3 litres of fat to remove. The method he is using is local + IV sedation. Is this the best option for the amount of fat I have? Should there be an anaesthetist present? I trust my surgeon and his reviews but am in panic mode after googling the risks. Second opinions welcome!
