How tolerable is neck liposuction under local only, no sedation?

April 28, 2014
Asked By:Katelyn616 in Natomas

I've set my surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon this coming month under local anesthesia only. No iv sedation. It was an option, but I want to keep the surgery low key and drive myself home afterwards. Doctor said I'll be fine, but very uncomfortable during injections. I have a very high pain tolerance so I thought I should be fine too. But Should i consider iv sedation?
