Best Answer

Sedation temporarily affects your coordination and reasoning skills, so you must not drive, drink alcohol, operate machinery or sign legal documents for 24 hours afterwards. If you're in any doubt about driving, please contact your motor insurer so that you're aware of their recommendations and always follow your doctor/surgeon's advice.

What is the difference between local and general anesthetic?

Local anesthetic is safe if the dosage is not excessive. When the area to aspirate is extensive, the high doses of local anesthetic required are toxic and may cause serious complications.
