Does chin lipo hurt?

Liposuction under the chin can be done using different types of anesthesia.  Normally, the area is injected with a local anesthetic and once this is done the area is completely numbed.  The injection of the anesthetic hurts a little bit, but I have not had anyone tell me it was bad.  The type of anesthesia used will also influence the sensation of any pain.  I normally use some IV sedation and pain medication, which makes the injection of the anesthetic less painful.  

Dear KennethSD,Once the numbing goes in, it does not hurt at allIt is usually multiple injections, but we typically do each subsequent injection where it is already numbTypically, if you take a relaxing medication (like Xanax) and a pain pill to take the edge offAfterwards, there is not too much discomfortBest,Dr. Nima
