Doc---Do you use more than local anesthesia when you do an excision from a patient's scalp? And why? I really enjoy following your social media accounts!

Thanks. The reason I ask is that my mom had a cyst removed a few days ago and they sedated her when they did it. She wanted only local but wouldn't do it that way. The one that you removed recently that was HUGE (green liquid inside) --- same patient with the "smallest cyst you ever removed"---looked just like hers before it was removed. Would this be the physicians preference or (hate to say it) but just wanting to make a little extra cash due to the anesthesia being billed as well? Thanks so much for sharing your work with all of us!!!
