Thanks for your question.
It depends on the procedure you have and your surgeon who do it. I don't do any procedure under general anesthesia. I am convinced the less I do the better. I only touch where it may help improve the result overall. So I need to see your face and see what we can do to make you look better. It's not the lift that help but the rearrange of soft tissue and redrape the skin over it for a natural look depending the shape of your face.

To answer your question directly: my patients go home the same day since I manage to control pain under local anesthesia even if it is a pretty major procedure.
