Turkey Neck Procedure for Diabetics and Under Local Anesthesia?

User Avatar

I have a fatty turkey neck which I would love to get rid of. And I just read the comments by the doctors here who said that surgery is the only option. Does the patient have to go under general anesthesia, or can this procedure be done through local anesthesia? Also, is this type of surgery safe for a diabetic? Thank you!
