Local or general anesthesia for Liposuction 360?

May 8, 2018
Asked By:YourstrulyX in New York, NY

Hi I am having lipo 360 (upper/lower abdomen, bra bulge/lower back, hips, inner/outer thighs). I weigh currently 135lbs and stand at 5’3”, I am 24 years old. Today at my pre-op my surgeon told me he will be using local which completely threw me off. I have never heard of this in my life. After gaining this info from him I’ve done quite some research. Is it safe to get lipo under local considering all the areas he’s treating? He said local is better because I can move for him..
