Hello, if the local anesthetic is not fully administered at the margins and does not achieve tumescent anesthesia, the patient may experience pain. Prior to surgery, you may mark the areas requiring transitional contouring; during anesthetic injection, you can administer a slightly higher dose of anesthetic to these marked areas to alleviate discomfort. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant day!
