REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

He is an excellent plastic surgeon. I appreciated that he was very conservative on what needed to be done, and the results were fantastic. So very natural looking. And yet it probably took off a good 15 years of aging and sagging. I recommend him to anyone who does not want a “pulled” look, but one that is almost impossible to tell that any surgery had been done. That is No. 1 in my book.

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Lee is one of the nicest, most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He understood my concerns and told me every step of the way what was happening. I think everyone should have him do their surgery.

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Lee was extremely professional and personable. I became to know this further with my follow-up care and appointments. I recommend him every chance I get!

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

I am happy to recommend Dr. Raymond Lee to any patient looking to improve their appearance. I am very happy with the results people tell me I look 10 years younger.

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

I placed my trust in Dr. Lee’s talent and ability and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. When the bandages were removed the next day, there was not a spot of dried blood; they were clean. There was absolutely no discomfort and I looked amazingly refreshed and about 15 years younger.

Local Anesthesia for Facelifts: Why the FACEology Lift is Game-Changer

Published on February 10, 2025 by FACEOLOGYMD

Facelift surgery has long been associated with general anesthesia, but advancements in modern techniques have made local and twilight anesthesia facelifts an increasingly popular option. At FACEOLOGYMD®, we offer the FACEology LIFT, a safer, more comfortable facelift procedure performed under local and twilight anesthesia. This innovative approach reduces risks, enhances recovery, and provides exceptional results with minimal downtime.

If you are considering facelift surgery to rejuvenate your appearance, explore the following sections to learn more about the benefits of the FACEology Lift. This advanced procedure developed by board-certified facial plastic surgery specialist Dr. Raymond Lee, is available exclusively at FACEOLOGYMD in Newport Beach, CA.

The Benefits of Facelift Surgery Without General Anesthesia

Increased Safety with Local Anesthesia: Traditional facelifts often require general anesthesia, which can pose risks such as extended recovery times, nausea, and complications from being fully sedated. In contrast, local and twilight anesthesia facelifts—especially when performed as part of the FACEology LIFT—allow for a safer and more controlled procedure.

Patient Compatibility: Avoiding the use of general anesthesia reduces the likelihood of anesthesia-related complications, making the procedure suitable for a wider range of patients. By performing the FACEology facelift procedure with non-general methods of anesthesia, suitable candidates may include those with medical conditions that are not ideally compatible with the use of general anesthesia.

Faster Recovery and Reduced Downtime: One of the key benefits of local anesthesia facelifts is the significantly shorter recovery time compared to traditional facelift methods. Without the lingering effects of general anesthesia, patients can return home sooner and recover faster. The FACEology LIFT is designed for those seeking natural-looking rejuvenation without the extended downtime of conventional facelifts.

Enhanced Patient Comfort and Experience: Patients who undergo twilight anesthesia facelifts often report feeling relaxed and at ease throughout the procedure. With the FACEology LIFT, we prioritize patient comfort by:

Using local anesthesia combined with light sedation to ensure a pain-free experience.
Maintaining patient awareness at a gentle, comfortable level, avoiding the disorientation that comes with deep anesthesia.
Ensuring precise surgical adjustments in real-time, leading to more natural results.

By eliminating the risks and discomforts of general anesthesia, the FACEology LIFT provides an exceptional facelift experience that prioritizes patient well-being.

What Is the FACEology LIFT?

The FACEology LIFT is a less invasive, yet highly customizable and precise approach to facelift surgery. This proprietary technique developed by Dr. Raymond Lee offers the comprehensive and natural-looking results of a modern facelift and is designed to:

Restore youthful facial contours with natural-looking results.
Tighten sagging skin and redefine the jawline without an “overdone” appearance.
Be performed under local anesthesia with twilight sedation for maximum safety and comfort.
Require minimal downtime, making it ideal for patients seeking quicker recovery with lasting results.

Unlike traditional facelift procedures, which involve more extensive incisions and longer healing times, the FACEology LIFT is customized to each patient’s anatomy for a refreshed, rejuvenated look without excessive downtime.
