Dermatologic surgery into the next millennium, Part III.
Face-lift procedures and blepharoplasties are performed as in-office surgeries. Either local sedation or conscious sedation is used, and the patient's vital signs are carefully monitored. To avoid complications, the patient is followed closely postoperatively. It is highly suggested that the patient receives a medical clearance prior to undergoing either of these procedures.
