Anesthesia:
General anesthesia is usually used during a facelift surgery or the patient may elect to have sedation and local anesthesia.

Inpatient/Outpatient:
Usually this is an outpatient procedure, although some patients may require a short hospital stay

Possible Side Effects:
Potential side effects from a facelift surgery may include temporary bruising, swelling, numbness and tenderness of the skin, as well as a tight feeling and dry skin. For men, permanent need to shave behind ears, where beard-growing skin is repositioned.
