Answer: Anesthesia for a deep plane facelift We perform the majority of our deep plans facelift procedures under iv sedation provided by a board certified Doctor anesthesiologist. During this type of a sedation you are out. You don't hear, feel, or remember everything. Your breathing is monitored the entire time but you do not have a breathing tube in. This is very similar to anesthesia used in colonoscopies, which many people over 50 are familiar with. In my view there are many benefits to this over general anesthesia. My patients also barely ever get nausea after surgery.

Answer: Doesn't matter! A good surgeon will recommend the anesthetic that he or she prefers. Some recommend IV sedation or twilight to keep their costs down (it costs more to have an anesthesia professional present). I usually have an anesthesia doctor/nurse doing that part so I can focus exclusively on the surgery.

Answer: Sedation for Facelift One certainly can be nervous before facelift surgery; after all, it is a big decision to undergo elective cosmetic surgery. The choice of anesthesia varies from surgeon to surgeon: some prefer general and others IV sedation. Personally, I never use general intubation anesthesia; in fact, some of our patients prefer to have their procedure performed under local. Two main factors should be considered in facial surgery: safety and comfort. It is probably not a good idea to ask your surgeon to perform your procedure differently than he usually does. If general anesthesia is important to you and your surgeon does not do it, then you may want to find a surgeon who uses this anesthesia mode routinely.

Answer: Type of sedation for deep plane facelift We routinely perform our deep plane facelifts under IV sedation, which maintains patient comfort without the need for a breathing tube. General anesthesia can be used as well and both are excellent choices to help ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure. We also provide medication before and after the procedure to help with anxiety and any discomfort. Hope that helps and best wishes, Dr. Donath

Answer: Anesthesia for facelifts: General vs Local with Sedation Both general anesthesia and local anesthesia with IV sedation provided facelift patient with good pain control and sedation. Most of my facelift cases are performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation. Patients note that they wake up easier than when they are under general anesthesia. I have the anesthesiologist use general anesthesia if we are concerned about breathing issues or if the patient specifically requests general.
