Asked By:BrigetteLA

I am planning to have a endoscopic brow lift to correct a tired, sad looking eyes and eyebrows, rhinoplasty to correct a counter roated tip which makes my nose look piggy,i may have some cartilage added... and a lip lift. Can i have this under local anesthetic with sedation? I am scared of general and really want to avoid it...
