Really don’t want general anesthesia.
Answer: Never under go general anesthesia for face/neck lift if you can help it. Local anesthesia with a little iv sedation for complete comfort is the very best and safest way to get a lower face/neck lift done. You can get a better result as well since you can sit up and the doc can fine tune the results better. Why be sick for a week from general anesthesia when you don't need to?

Answer: Local or General Anesthesia for a Facelift I only do facelifts under general anesthesia by a board certified anesthesiologist for utmost comfort for the patient. For the delicate surgery to be performed on the face, I do not want the patient moving around. General anesthesia is very safe. Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Anesthesia for Facial Surgery Generally, general anesthesia is used for browlift/facelift. It allows patients to be most comfortable and the surgeon can do what she/he needs to do and can focus on the surgery. Full anesthetic also minimizes bleeding risk from wavering blood pressures. Anesthesia is extremely safe. You should discuss your options with a board certified plastic surgeon. Maximal impact surgery needs anesthesia.

Answer: General or twilight sedation for lower face/neck lift and a brow lift. In our practice we perform these two procedures under general anesthesia by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort. Both procedures could take upwards of four+ hours to perform, so it will be very difficult for patients to undergo this sedation for that length of time. You will also most likely have some degree of conscious awareness of the operative procedure unless you are completely asleep.
