Question:
I've heard that facelifts and nose jobs are sometimes performed under local anesthesia and sedation, instead of general anesthesia. I don't want to be under full anesthesia either. What sedation are brow lifts typically performed with? Answer:
I almost always use general anesthesia for rhinoplasty procedures. Most facelifts are also performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. The anesthesia I use for endoscopic brow lift is general, but I will use IV sedation for other brow lift techniques. Posted by William E. O'Mara Jr., M.D. |
