This study presents a safe and effective monitored anesthesia care method using local anesthesia for over 4500 facial rejuvenation patients. This approach avoids general anesthesia complications, benefiting even elderly patients with medical issues.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • General anesthesia for facial rejuvenation carries risks and disadvantages.
  • Monitored anesthesia care (MAC) with local anesthesia offers a potential alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a reliable, simple, and safe MAC method for facial rejuvenation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this MAC approach in a large patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 4500 patients undergoing facial rejuvenation procedures.
  • Utilized monitored anesthesia care with local anesthesia in a private clinic setting.
  • Employed careful patient monitoring and precise drug titration.

Main Results:

  • The described MAC method was used in 4500 patients without major complications.
  • Only minor side effects were reported across the patient cohort.
  • The method proved safe and effective for aged patients with medical comorbidities.

Conclusions:

  • Monitored anesthesia care with local anesthesia is a reliable, simple, and safe technique for facial rejuvenation.
  • This approach effectively avoids the disadvantages associated with general anesthesia.
  • The method is suitable for a wide range of patients, including the elderly and those with medical problems.
