Are patients who are sedated As Described Above unable to feel any PAIN during the procedure and what if, after chosing this method of anesthesia, the patient is not tolerating either the procedure or the anesthesia well. Are they aware of the sounds and smells going on around them but have no memory of any of this?
Answer: Yes you feel pain. However, the discomfort is easily tolerated. The discomfort is on the order of being poke by your dentist for the injection of local anesthetic. I have had facelift patients whose surgery I performed under local with oral sedation actually sleep through the entire procedure. On the other hand, this type of anesthesia is not for everyone. Some people require more sedation and benefit from intravenous sedation. You can still be awake and cooperative which in my opinion is essential for eyelid surgery but the drugs make it impossible to be concerned about the awareness and in many cases, memories of the event do not form. Oral medication does not produce this depth of sedation.

Answer: Pain During Local Procedure. Most patients only experience pain during the injection of local anesthetic. Proecures under local are very common and safe. Best wishes.

Answer: Local Anesthesia for Facial Cosmetic Surgery The overall facial aesthetic surgery experience should be positive in every aspect. I strongly suggest that patients who do not want to be aware of any sensation (sound, smell, the occasional "tug", etc.) undergo sedation with either "twilight sleep" administered via an IV or general anesthesia. Some patients prefer to avoid sedation while others desire a "wake me up when it's over" type of experience. There is no right or wrong- just be honest with your surgeon about the type of experience you are seeking.

Answer: Local anesthesia for facelifts this is an excellent way to perform these procedures and I have personally performed over 150 this year and have yet to have a complaint of pain or discomfort. Of course this type of anesthesia is very dependent on your doctor experience so be sure to go to someone with lots of experience and a great bedside manner
