Could a brow bone reduction be performed under local anesthesia and sedation?

Question

I'm interested in a brow bone reduction, brow lift, and hairline advancement for facial feminization. I have malignant hyperthermia and I'm nervous about general anesthesia. Is it possible to perform these procedures under sedation and local anesthesia? I'm also looking to reduce costs.

Hello, hope you are well. Malignant hyperthermia is caused by very specific anesthetic drugs. Brow bone reduction is a procedure that is done under general anesthesia. You can have the procedure done under general anesthesia with the avoidance of drugs that trigger MH.

Best,

We do all brow lift and forehead contouring surgeries in twilight (MAC) anesthesia. Considering the anesthesia costs in our practice there is no difference in price for service. Hope this helps.
