General anesthesia for rhytidectomy: a review of 100 consecutive cases.

Although local anesthesia will, and should, continue to be the principal method of anesthesia for most face lift operations, we believe that general endotracheal anesthesia, supplemented by local anesthesia with epinephrine, offers significant advantages in a selected group of patients. We review 100 consecutive rhytidectomies done under this combination of anesthetics. These patients had no significant intraoperative or postoperative problems, and the results compare favorably with the usual technique of local anesthesia plus basal sedation. Good cooperation between surgeon and anesthesiologist, and a thorough understanding of the principles involved in such anesthesia administrations (particularly when relatively large volumes of local anesthesia with epinephrine are going to be used) are necessary for the patient's safe course during the procedure.

The forehead lift: a useful adjunct to face lift and blepharoplasty.

The forehead lift, with interruption of the continuity of the frontalis muscle, has been an effective method in our hands for improving the appearance of the upper third of the face. It can be done independently, or combined with a facial rhytidectomy, a blepharoplasty, and/or other ancillary procedures. In some cases of apparent upper lid redundancy, it can eliminate the need for an upper lid blepharoplasty. The results are pleasing and seem to be lasting, while the complications have been few and mild. We describe the operation and discuss its indications, contraindications, advantages, and disadvantages.
