Chin Implant - General Anesthesia?

pammyguns2
I am having a chin implant with no other procedures. The surgeon gave me the option to do in his office with a local anesthesia or go to a surgery center and be knocked out. Are there any pros/cons to either scenario other than price? More swelling? More pain afterwards? I understand everyones pain tolerance is different but is it unbearable to do while awake?
