I have surgery scheduled next month for lipo of the stomach and arms, and a breast lift. My doctor is going to do this under local anesthesia. Should I be worried about this? I have had previous work with this doctor under local but my breasts are currently 36DDD so I feel like there will be a lot of work to reduce and lift them. The doctor did not mention sedation or "twilight anesthesia", so I'm concerned he won't be able to do a good job with just lidocaine. Thinking of requesting general.
