Procedures Performed Under Local Anesthesia by Dr. Harrison Lee
For patients who are unable to or prefer not to undergo general anesthesia, Dr. Lee can perform many of the most popular procedures under local anesthesia. Since each person’s goals as well as their physical and medical needs are different, Dr. Lee develops a customized procedure plan for each patient. From fat transfer and liposuction to eyelid surgery and face lift, patients at Dr. Lee’s Los Angeles / Beverly Hills area practice can choose from many surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia; however, not all patients will be good candidates for these procedures. If you are interested in procedures performed under local anesthesia, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lee so that he can determine if you are a good candidate and then create a customized treatment plan to produce the results you envision.
Consultation with Dr. Lee
During an individual consultation with Dr. Lee, he will discuss with you your desires and expectations for surgery. He will perform a thorough evaluation and review of your medical history as well as a physical examination to determine if you are a good candidate for these procedures.

The end result is an individually designed procedure plan that meshes your wishes with the most appropriate and safe procedures based on your facial or body structure and medical history.
