Would general anesthetic be used in a ear draining operation?

I may be getting an operation to drain mucus out of my ear. I watched some videos on it and everyone had a lot of injections in the side of their face

I may be getting an operation to drain mucus out of my ear. I watched some videos on it and everyone had a lot of injections in the side of their face. Would I be put to sleep before getting the shots, or will they just straight up stick me?
