Small amount of fat transfer to body with local or general anesthesia?
March 4, 2014
Asked By:
I will have a small amount off fat removed from my right buttocks (guess about 50cc), to create more symmetry and have it transferred to some liposuction irregularities at one place on my leg. I want local anesthesia since it's just one location for harvest and one location to fill, but the dr. prefers general. Does the liquid of local anesthesia makes it hard for a dr. to see the irregularities? Which method is the less harmful, and which gives the best result? I am not scared to stay awake.

This should resolve after 4-6 months. some of this depends on your skin type. olive or darker skin tends to stay bruised a little longer. warm compresses, massage and hydroquinone will help
Thank you for your question and I have treated many men and women with calf implants with great success so I feel this might be the best solution to your thin lower legs so find someone in your area who does lots of these procedures.Dr. Corbin
