3.5 yrs ago had stroke resulting in limited mobility. Walk unaided at home, aide accompanies me going anywhere to prevent falls. Recently my eyelid on affected side spasms and will not fully open. I also have RA, under tx. I am considering Botox, for eyelid (medical) & cosmetic reasons. I really prefer facelift. Can I do this using sedation, not general, for safety reasons?
