I have read a great many reviews from people who have said, if they had it to do over, they would not have the lower facelift and necklift under local anesthesia again because the shots were too painful and they could also feel some of the cutting. Is this normal? If so, I definitely will not be going that route.
Answer: Yes and Yes Hi Mikim6393It's a more and more commonly asked question.What makes the Concept™ Facelift so revolutionary is that it has the same results as traditional facelift methods but can have you back to work within days rather than months. If you are looking for a procedure that will flatter and rejuvenate you, without too stark a difference post operatively, then this facelift is for you.Make sure you do your homework and find a reputable and experienced surgeon and good luck.

Answer: Facelift Under Local Anesthesia Great question, and one I respond to frequently in my practice. The answer is that it depends on the patient. I perform the preponderance of my facelifts under sedation, because the majority of my patients would prefer to be free of pain, anxiety, and awareness during the procedure. Sedation offers this distinct benefit. The question I ask my patients is: "How long are you comfortable resting on a poolside lounge chair?" The answer is usually 45 minutes or less, which is considerably shorter than it takes to perform a SMAS-based facelift. Some patients believe that there is a safety benefit from a local anesthesia case, but for healthy patients, this isn't necessarily true.

Answer: Anesthesia For Facial Rejuvenation Facelift operations can successfully be performed under local anesthesia and deep sedation or general anesthesia. The choice of which varies from surgeon to surgeon. What is important is the anesthesiologist's experience and his/her ability to control the anesthetic process throughout the surgery according to the surgeon's preference. In my practice, I operate my patients under general anesthesia. This increases the patient conform as well as the safety and gain of control I prefer to have during the surgery. Hope this helps, Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Anesthesia Used During a Facelift #Facelifts and ancillary procedures are usually performed as #outpatient in a surgery center. A one night stay in post-operative care facility may be advisable in some cases. But, local #anesthetic combined with intravenous sedation is usually used. This will allow the patient to sleep through most of the procedure. General anesthesia is available upon request however is usually not necessary.The Lite-lift™ is generally performed with a local anesthetic and medication by mouth, which will keep you comfortable during the procedure and allow for an easier recovery.For more information about Lite-lift™, I welcome you to visit my website link provided below.

Answer: Neck pain local anesthesia In my experience of more than 30 years and busy practice in facial surgery, most of my cases are done with sedation and local anesthesia. In the great majority of the cases the patients don’t even remember going into the operating room but I always give the option of choosing the type of anesthesia they would like to have.
