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.
