I'm going to have Vaser Lipo next week. I don't want to feel any pain. Which anesthesia is better for no pain at all and safer for me, local or general anesthesia? Thank you.

Liposuction IS a surgical procedure and surgery CAN be associated with pain during and after the operation. The ability of the anesthesia technique to confer lack of sensation depends on the EXTENT of liposuction being performed:
- small areas - TUMESCENT (local) anesthesia only
- slightly larger or multiple - Tumescent solution with IV sedation
- larger areas or larger patients (such as yourself) - Tumescent solution under the general anesthesia.
Your surgeon SHOULD be able to pick between all these methods and not be limited to only one way of doing things.
