Face lift without general anaesthesia. Is local anesthetic possible?

Great question!
Absolutely- at my practice I exclusively perform facelift procedures under local IV sedation. The "twilight" sedation approach ensures that patients are comfortable and relaxed, but breathing on your own.
While some surgeons may choose to only utilize general anesthesia, a facelift does not have to be performed with it.

Hello,
Yes, a facelift can be performed under local anesthesia. In many cases, local anesthesia is combined with nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) to enhance patient comfort and relaxation throughout the procedure. This approach can be a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery. It is always best practice to consult with a skilled facial plastic surgeon.
