My Deep Plane Facelift Technique. Let's take a beach walk! I recently published a paper detailing my approach to performing deep plane face and neck lifts under local anesthesia, with a focus on the safety protocols that make this technique possible. Three key principles: Strict Lidocaine Limits: Carefully controlled dosing to minimize the risk of local anesthetic toxicity. No Narcotics During Surgery: Oral sedation without opioids to avoid the additional respiratory risks associated with combining these medications. Patient Selection: Local anesthesia is a choice, not a requirement. Patient comfort, motivation, and safety are essential.
