Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

If you are slurring speech after a mini-lift, facelift, or any surgical procedure you need to communicate this to your surgeon immediately.  If you experiencing other neurological symptoms (weakness, numbness, vision changes) you need to seek medical attention urgently.

Francisco Canales, MD · Answer

Slurring of speech is not expected after mini-lift. Go see your regular doctor and plastic surgeon both ASAP. If not then go to urgent care to be evaluated.  Unless the slurred speech was due to residual local anesthesia, one could argue that you could be having a more significant health issue.
