It would not be advisable to undergo these procedures so close together. You will have swelling and bruising from the facelift and your body will be in the early phases of recovery. Your surgeon is the best one to advise you as she/he is most familiar with your medical history and how you progress through recovery, but generally you will want to wait at least three to six months between procedures.

While facelifts can be performed under local anesthesia in select cases, there are important limitations. During a facelift, surgeons inject a special solution under the skin that includes adrenaline to reduce bleeding. However, under local anesthesia, we cannot use this solution as effectively or in sufficient volume, which may increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure.

This is why we generally recommends general anesthesia for facelift surgeries — it allows better control of bleeding, a safer operating environment, and smoother recovery overall.

Your safety and the quality of results always come first.
