As a 70 year old woman I'm concerned about the time under general anesthesia for a face lift. I've been quoted anywhere from 3 hours for a facelift up to 8 hours.

Answer: What time is reasonable for a 70 year old woman to have a facelift under general anesthesia? Hi tasteful, Age is not the determining factor here. What is your general health like? How much has to be done to your face? What type of techniques is your prospective surgeon discussing with you? Have had cosmetic surgery done before? What sort of anesthesiologist will you have? All these questions need to be discussed with your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps a bit. Best Wishes and good Luck! Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: General anesthesia Thank you for your question. Your age in important but your general health is the most important factor to determined your risk for surgery. Are you in any meds, have your had your general physical every year etc. Also some of us don’t use general anesthesia for this procedures so what I recommend to you is to seek a consultation with a board certified Plastic surgeon to present your case.
