I'm scared to be put to sleep during my BBL. I know some doctors do local anesthesia. Is it safe?

   Local aesthesia can be safe, but the procedure can be difficult to perform as the patient tends to have residual areas of sensation during the procedure.

Hello, thanks for your question and provided information. Most of board certified plastic surgeons uses epidural block with sedation, patient completely sleeping, pain free. 

Thanks so much for reaching out.  I think is is a terrible idea to do this surgery under local anesthesia.  If you want a major transformation than the amount of liposuction and change in positioning just cannot be done with an awake patient.  I’m sure there are providers that would offer to do this under local and it can be technically accomplished but you will be dramatically decreasing your results.  If you are most concerned about being put to sleep, your best bet is to find a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust that works with board certified anesthesiologists at a certified center.I hope this helps :)
