What does my recently published study actually show? After reviewing 142 deep plane face and neck lifts performed under local anesthesia, my research found no significant increase in surgical complication rates compared to published results under general anesthesia or IV sedation. These findings support that a deep plane facelift can be performed safely under local anesthesia, without the need for prolonged IV sedation or general anesthesia.
