Anesthesia
What type of anesthesia is used for facelift & neck lift?
We use "twilight anesthesia" which is a new and innovative method of anesthesia
for facial surgery. Twilight anesthesia is extremely safe compared to the standard
general anesthesia techniques used today. The main advantages of twilight
anesthesia are: (i) it does not require putting a breathing tube in the throat, (ii) it
does not require a breathing machine, (iii) the recovery is much faster, (iv) there
is much less "hang-over" from anesthesia, and (v) there is much less nausea. All
these elements translate into greater comfort and safety. Dr. Naficy has used
this technique of anesthesia in several thousand plastic surgery procedures
without any anesthetic complications.
During twilight anesthesia a small flexible IV (intravenous) needle is placed into
one of the veins of the back of the hand. Through this IV line, relaxing
medication is given to make you fall sleep. The amount of medication given is
adjusted to the specific needs of each person. After you are sleeping, some
numbing medicine is also placed in the skin of the face and neck. The beauty of
twilight anesthesia is that during the procedure you are unaware of anything
going on and cannot hear anything, yet you are still breathing on your own.
When the procedure is finished, the relaxing medication is discontinued and you
begin to wake up. Because the medications used in twilight anesthesia clear the
system rather quickly, most of our patients are able to go home in less than 15
minutes after the procedure is completed.
