Is Local Anesthesia for Smartlipo Pain Normal?

September 19, 2011
Asked By:Dusty1234

I recently had Smartlipo in my core area. It took about half an hour for the front and half an hour for the back to inject the local. I was told the pain was from the fluid moving throughout the area. I thought I was going to die, the pain was so bad. I was given a pill to relax me, but I was not ready for the extreme pain I experienced. Is this normal for the local anesthesia to be painful for this type of procedure?
