Is it true that local is worst and you end up with holes in your body and not proportionate? Are the results of both procedure equally good?

Answer: Local or General Anesthesia with Liposuction--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting General anesthesia allows for more fat removal and body contouring. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: What's the pros and cons of liposuction under general anesthesia and local? Limited liposuction can be done under local anesthesia. You do not want to be in pain during the procedure so that the surgeon must stop the procedure or do less than what is necessary. For this reason, general is a better option for my patients. I do not use local exclusively unless a small area of liposuction is planned.

Answer: What are the pros and cons of #liposuction under #local #tumescent vs general anesthesia? Lipo can be done under local (often with some oral sedation) or general anesthesia, depending on the areas being treated, surgeon technique, and other factors. The general advantages of local are:1. No need for general anesthesia, with less risk of blood clots in theory2. Patient can move around and change positions (including being upright in some circumstances) to allow the surgeon to see possible differences with gravity3. Recovery is faster in terms of not needing to overcome side effects of general (nausea, drowsiness, etc.)However, there is a risk of lidocaine toxicity which requires a clear understanding of maximal volume of local anesthetic that can safely be used, and this may limit how many areas can be treated in one surgery. This in turn may result in needing more than one operation. The surgery also may take longer because the surgeon may not be able to be as aggressive and may need to stop periodically to assess your comfort and add more local. I find this tedious for large areas and believe that general anesthesia is preferable for large areas and BBL/fat transfer cases for sure. With general anesthesia, I can be very aggressive and get a more impressive change. Some dermatologists and other specialists who are not actually plastic surgeons may not have facilities/resources for general anesthesia and in such cases, local will be the only option.
