Yes, you do need a general anesthetic.
A breast lift COULD be done with local anesthetic nerve locks with or without IV sedation, but I have only heard of one plastic surgeon who did them under local.You just have to find a surgeon who is willing to work with you as it is not commonly done without general anesthesia.
