Ep. 3 Facelifts Under Local Anesthesia | Plastic Surgery Unplugged Podcast

Our patient, Aura, joins us on today's episode to discuss her journey and experience getting a facelift at Athre Facial Plastics.

Dr. Athre and Aura discuss the following and more:
Which specific procedures Aura had done and why
What the day of surgery was like for Aura
Why Dr. Athre prefers doing facelifts under local anesthesia and why it gives better results
Why he performs surgery under local anesthesia on more women than men
How the facelift healing process went

At Athré Facial Plastics, all facelifts lift the muscle and tissue layer, leaving no tension in the skin - therefore, the effect lasts longer. In addition, incisions are hidden in order to produce a flawless final outcome. Dr. Athré also performs a mini facelift procedure called the RT Mini Facelift that is more affordable and requires less downtime than the traditional procedure.

This is amazing going thru local under a face/neck lift. Wow. I want just a nip and tuck on my waddle neck , is this possible under a local?

[@blessedmom7150]

I'm eleven days post op from facelift, necklift with removal of the Turkey waddle. My surgery was four hours under local. I took a valium before surgery and it was easy. The hard part started that evening when the local wore off. I had a lot of pain. I thought facelift wasnt painful. I have had a lot of swelling and bruising. Going in daily to have old blood aspirated from one area in neck. The healing is difficult but surgery was a breeze.

You doctor could do mine in 2hs, I don’t need cupcake or bathroom break🙈

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

I would need to take a look at you to see if it is possible in you. You can email my coordinator, [e-mail] She would be able to chat with you online and give you the basic details.

​@@AthreFacialPlasticscan You do a facelift that takes 3.5 hours under local with oral valium? What is the maximum time you can keep someone numb with local?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Greater than 9-10 hours
