The FACEology© LIFT with Cloud™ Anesthesia

The FACEology© LIFT performed under local anesthesia is now even more comfortable with Cloud Anesthesia!

Rejuvenate your face and neck while in the comfort of the Cloud™.  There are no painful IV’s, as powerful, harmful intravenous anesthetics aren’t necessary.  Our surgical staff simply lightly sedates you with oral medications, and then you breathe in the Cloud™ Anesthesia as needed. You are in complete control while in your tranquil state, so you never have to worry about discomfort. Dr. Lee will then carefully administer the numbing injections prior to the procedure, and you are ready and completely comfortable to have your Lift.
