Q: How long does a facelift last?
A: As long as the surgery has been done appropriately, a facelift lasts approximately 10 to 15 years. At that point, further skin elasticity, jowls, neck fat, and gravity changes tend to produce the aging effects again. A facelift can be repeated.
Q: What kind of anesthesia is used for a facelift and a neck lift only?
A: Typically, facelifts and neck lifts are done under a general anesthesia. A neck lift only can be performed under a local anesthesia with some intravenous sedation if needed. All anesthesia is administered by a board certified physician anesthesiologist from Swedish Medical Center at the Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center.
