And what is if any smaller/bigger complications accurs? Sorry but no doc with a clean mind would do this to his patients.

I was awake and conscious during my surgery just couldn't feel my legs. It was fine.

It's the doctor's preference.  Some patients could cause trouble if awake for the surgery.  Generally the more prestigious the doctor is, the less he's willing to accomodate your requests that could make things harder for him.

I consulted with two local plastic surgeons for my otoplasty.  One said he'd only work with general anesthesia; wouldn't budge on charging me double for the anesthesiologist and the operating room fees even for a minor thing like that.  Of course I chose the doc that injected lidocaine in my ears for half the price.
