A facelift under local anesthesia can restore youthful facial contours, improve jawline definition, and reduce visible signs of aging while allowing select patients to avoid general anesthesia.
Overview
As we age, facial tissues naturally lose elasticity and volume, leading to sagging skin, jowls, deep facial folds, and a loss of jawline definition.
A facelift performed under local anesthesia can effectively address these concerns while reducing some of the risks associated with general anesthesia. Patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure and often enjoy a smoother recovery experience.
