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?

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.

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
