Answer: Can a deep plane facelift be performed using only oral meds and local injections? The short answer is yes it can be done, however the patients will probably be rather uncomfortable since the entire face and neck will need to undergo local anesthetic injections and the procedure takes approximately three hours which is very difficult to sit still for that long of time. In our practice, we perform a high-SMAS lower face and neck lift under general anesthesia by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort. For many examples and more information, please see the video and link below
