General or twilight sedation? I had a consult for lower face, neck and brow lift.

I have done these both ways, and each has its own advantages/disadvantages. It really depends on what your priorities are. The best thing to do is discuss this in person with your surgeon, who can go over all of this with you in detail. hope this helps!dr. silver

 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.
