Should I be concerned about having tumescent Liposuction, will it make my heart race?

Asked By:jatro in FLorida

I will be having Tumescent Liposuction on my chin under local anesthetic soon. I am a little concerned about the lidocaine and epinephrine used in the procedure. My dentist stopped using lidocaine with epinephrine on me because it makes my heart race. Will this be an issue with the liposuction procedure? Should I be concerned?
