General anesthesia: The patient is completely asleep during the procedure, which guarantees that he will not feel pain or be aware during the surgery. This type of anesthesia is preferred for more extensive procedures.
Local anesthesia with sedation: Local anesthesia is given to numb the face area together with intravenous sedation to relax the patient. This approach allows the patient to be calm and comfortable, although aware, and is suitable for less extensive procedures.

The facelift generates a temporary disability that varies according to the patient and the extent of the procedure.
Immediate disability: Patients should avoid strenuous activities, lift heavy objects, and bend down. It is common to experience inflammation, bruising and a feeling of tightness on the skin.
Short-term disability: Most patients can return to their normal activities and work, as long as it does not involve significant physical effort. Inflammation and bruising continue to decrease. You should continue to protect the sun’s incisions and avoid makeup in the treated areas until the initial healing is complete.
Medium Term Disability: Patients can feel quite recovered in about two to four weeks. During this time, proper skin care should be continued and the surgeon’s recommendations must be followed.
Around the ears: Incisions are usually made in the natural lines of the skin, around the ears, extending towards the hair. This includes in front and behind the ears, in the natural folds where the skin meets the ear.
Hairline: In some cases, the incisions can extend along the hairline, at the temples and at the nape of the neck, to ensure that the scars are hidden by the hair.
The scars of a facelift are designed to be minimal and well hidden, taking advantage of the natural lines of the face and hair to hide them. With time and proper care, these scars tend to fade significantly, providing a harmonious aesthetic result.
