I wanted to get it done in December, but one doctor can’t see me until Feb. That’s the Duke doctor. I also need a new car, so not sure the timing is right budget wise.

What do you mean about no anesthesiologist? I thought that general anesthesia would be required or at the very least light sedation, like with a colonoscopy. You’re out, but don’t have a breathing tube. What did you have?

I am sure different facilities handle their procedures differently, but when I had my lower face / neck lift I was awake the entire time. No IV with drugs to knock you out. Just injections into areas to numb.

You will definitely need to ask your plastic surgeon about.
