With general anesthesia you will be completely asleep. General anesthesia is used when it is necessary for the patient to be completely still during surgery. You are awakened as soon as the surgery is complete. While under local mac anesthesia the patient is sedated with medicine given through an IV. The patient is monitored during the procedure.
