Considering getting lipo 360/BBL under local anesthesia, but I have a low tolerance for pain and high tolerance for pain meds. I usually need more medicine than the average person to not feel pain. Every time I have local anesthesia the doctor has to give me several doses during the procedure. I have woken up in the middle of surgery before under general anesthesia.

Answer: BBL anesthesia Dear Reliable,It is extremely difficult to fully anesthestitize such a large surface area as that in a liposuction 360. Both you, and your surgeon will be uncomfortable. An additional consideration in the age of coronavirus is that general anesthesia, including use of an endotracheal tube is probably safer in limiting aerosolization of virus, as we must consider EVERY patient to be a possible carrier of the virus. Waking up during surgery under general anesthesia brings into question the competence of your anesthesia provider. Good luck!
