Today I had fat grafting to my cheeks and nasolabial fold area. They said it was local anesthesia, not sedation. But anesthesia is still anesthesia, so why would it be called anesthesia? It's anesthesia so it won't hurt lol So the procedure started. They did local anesthesia on my thigh and when they extracted the fat, it felt like they were doing it with no anesthesia at all. I screamed my head off and made such a fuss..ㅡㅡ; After taking out the fat....now they had to put it into my face, right?? Very cautiously.. I asked... Is it more painful than when you took it from the buttocks? They said very firmly, yes, it hurts more... gasp.. totally awkward...ㅡㅡ; Still, since it was anesthesia, I thought surely not. But!!! How can this be. They said they shouldn't anesthetize the cheeks. So they said they had to only anesthetize the nasolabial fold area and do it. I was seriously dumbfounded.. During the procedure, I really felt like I died and came back to life. They made holes in my face and something thick was moving back and forth, and all I could think was why did I choose this clinic.. During the procedure I couldn't scream, and tears just kept streaming down. It did hurt, but only my cheeks are plump, and they're not very swollen, and they look just right now. So I do like it, but if it gets absorbed, they said they'll do it once more after 6 months. Then I would have to go through this situation again, right? Just thinking about it makes me shudder.... What should I do
