abstract: The use of local anesthetics in soft-tissue facial surgery can be safe, efficient, economical, and convenient. Understanding these agents and using them with proficiency allows the surgeon to perform a variety of operative procedures with minimal anesthetic morbidity on patients who are relaxed, comfortable, and insensitive to pain.
