If I choose local anesthesia instead of general during fat transfer to butt, will I still feel any pain?

The injection of the local anesthesia will hurt.  In addition, the local anesthesia will not prevent you from feeling some pain during the procedure.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. I would say that no we do not like to do fat transfer under local anesthesia.  because we are injecting the fat deep into your tissue it is much to painful and we do not use local anesthesia for this procedure.  We can use local anesthesia for liposuction but it is not recommended for fat transfer.Best of luck,Dr. Hisham Seify
