Q. I am 71 years old and I need a facelift and neck lift. Any suggestions on general anesthesia? I have read a lot about memory loss from senior patients undergoing a general anethesia and I would like my surgery done with IV sedation, however, most plastic surgeons I have consulted only want to do a general. I am very concerned about being under a general or even IV sedation for this long of a period and wonder if I should have it done in 2 stages, perhaps a facelift first and then the neck lift later in order to shorter then time I would be sedated.
A. There are 3 basic types of anesthesia used by themselves or in combination for facelift surgery or any other surgery for that matter.
