Can I get tear trough filler under general anaesthesia when I have another procedure? (Photo)

Question

I am scared of needles. I need to get tear trough filler, but do not want to be awake during the procedure. Is it possible to request for it to be done under general anaesthesia while I have a ponytail face lift?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, you can request your surgeon inject fillers while you under anesthesia for another procedure.  Another option for future filler treatments is ProNox.  We use this in addition to topical anesthesia to keep our patients comfortable during injections.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

You can certainly request to have fillers, injected as part of your facelift procedure.
This is not all that uncommon.
There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this.
I suggest you discuss with your provider.
Best,
