Facelift six-hour surgery with local and oral sedation?

March 18, 2015
Asked By:Crystal8491 in Houston, TX

I am planning to have a facelift, cheek lift, fat transfer, and laser in one operation. The doctor favors local with oral sedation. I am concerned that a six-hour procedure may have me aware and exceed my tolerance level. I'd love to hear from others who have gone through six-hour facial procedures under local with only oral sedation.
