Answer: Oral Sedation Is Fine
I perform Mini-Lifts on patients with oral sedation (Valium and Percocet) on a routine basis and on the proper patient it works great. Very little side effects or nausea. Be aware that local anesthesia is used as well. You may feel the initial needle prick but everything goes numb after 20-30 seconds.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Oral Sedation For a Mini Lift? Thank you for your question. We use oral medication for our mini facelifts, and this is usually valium, and a hydrocodone compound and injectable anesthetic, a lidocaine mixture. This is sufficient for our patients. If you are going to get very high doses, be sure to ask if they are going to be using a pulse oximeter, and if you will need supplemental oxygen. Be sure your airway is not compromised if the sedation gets too heavy. I hope this helps.

Answer: ORAL SEDATION AND MINILIFT
Oral sedation has been utilized frequently in my practice with great success. The sedation is frequently a combination of benzodiazepine and/or narcotic medication and/or other types of drugs. Local anesthetic is used to numb the areas that will be addressed. The recovery is generally quicker under this anesthesia, and the postoperative nausea and vomiting associated with general anesthesia does not occur. Your comfort and success, like all aspects of surgery, is largely dependent upon the skill and experience of your surgeon.

Answer: Oral Sedation for Facelift and Laser
Different surgeons have different ideas on this, but general anesthesia offers the greatest level of patient comfort. If the plastic surgeon has GREAT credentials, I would trust that more than the type of anesthesia. Kenneth Hughes, MD HughesPlasticSurgery Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Anesthesia for a minilift
Most patients do not want to have "conscious awareness" for their surgery. Best to be asleep by a board certified MD anesthesiologist for patient safety. It needs to be done in a Certified operating room as well
