Santa Barbara, CA – The facelift procedure at Robert W. Sheffield, MD Plastic Surgery is done with the use of local and tumescent anesthesia. The idea to use these non-invasive procedures for the facelift Santa Barbara procedure to minimize the recovery time, provide safety, and cost-effectiveness to the patient. There is no operation involved so that the patient can get back to their daily chores safely.

Dr. Sheffield uses tumescent in this facelift procedure by injecting the diluted saline solution and local anesthetic. It just numbs the area, so the patient experiences no discomfort or pain. By using local anesthesia for this procedure, two-thirds of the patient’s sagging skin is tightened, and wrinkles are smoothened.

According to Dr. Robert W. Sheffield, “We combine the facelift procedure with the neck lift procedure to remove the excess fat from the face and chin areas. As we use local anesthesia, the part is just numbed, and your blood pressure also remains stable. Even we make sure that your body remains physiologically stable too. We will carry out the facelift procedure after full diagnosis as we choose the right candidate.”

Facelift procedure has benefitted many people, as it tightens the sagging skin, and the wrinkles are also removed. The signs of aging are minimized or removed if they are even slightly visible. It not only rejuvenates the facial cell but also provides a youthful touch to the patient’s face.

“We make sure to use the local or tumescent anesthesia to make sure that there is no risk of toxicity when it is administered to the patient. By using the larger volume of the tumescent fluid known as ‘tumescence’, the patient is saved from the risks associated with general anesthesia. It will even lower down anxiety levels and any signs of discomfort in the patient. You will not experience any bruising, swelling, or hematoma formation under the skin. After the facelift procedure, we make sure that our patient’s skin gives an incredibly natural look and not an operational look,” he further added.

The local anesthesia procedure reduces the distress situation that patients may experience with general anesthesia. Moreover, local anesthesia offers excellent results and fewer complications during a facelift procedure in Santa Barbara.

“We want the short scar and facelift procedures performed by us looks natural and not at all overly operational. The reason for using local anesthesia is to provide facial rejuvenation to patients with minimal risk. As the tumescent local anesthesia procedure is minimally invasive, the patients can go home the same day and with the shorter recovery, they can resume their normal activities. If you are someone with sagging jawline, hollowness in the cheek region, possess deep creases or have fine lines, etc., then candidacy for short scar facelift may be higher,” he further added.

Dr. Sheffield strives to help his patients desire for a more natural rejuvenated look avoiding many of the risks associated with general anesthesia and while also helping to improve patient self-confidence.
