Answer: Intubated for Facelift This is completely up to your surgeon, but in my practice about 95% of our facelifts are performed under oral sedation. However, for surgeons who prefer general anesthesia, the intubation tube is usually small and will not skew the results of the facelift.

Answer: Are patients intubated for a Facelift Thank you for submitting your question. You can have a face lift performed with IV sedation or endotrachial intubation. The endotrachial tube does not interfere with the face lift. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best Wishes.

Answer: Are patients intubated for a facelift? Hello! Thank you for your question! Typically, facelifts are performed under sedation or general anesthesia. It is often determined u surgeon comfort. It is common for many surgeons to work around the tube, if it is utilized, with minimal distortion during the procedure.

Answer: Are patients intubated for a Facelift? Depends.Typically under specific circumstances a person having a facelift can have the procedure performed under IV sedation (aka., conscious sedation, twilight anesthesia) and therefore will not be intubated (which is a soft tube inserted into the throat by an anesthesiologist to assist your breathing). However, despite being intubated your features around your mouth are not distorted and will not impact your result; moreover, the plastic surgeon should have plenty of photographs taken of you prior to surgery, and these should be posted on the wall in the operating room or on a large television screen as a reference (I do both).The attached link provides more information about anesthesia and facelifts.I hope this helps.
