If I didn’t get the brow lift with eyelid surgery is there no chance I could have a local?

I’m looking to get my uppers and lower eyelids done but the doc has also mentioned I may need a temporal brow lift to get the best result. He recommended a GA although my preference was a local as I tend to need to wee regularly. If I didn’t get the brow lift to make things less complicated, is there no chance I could have a local? Also, I’ve heard it’s better to be able to open/close eyes during the surgery. Would it be unwise to do this under GA? Lowers would be done from the inside.
