Our Specialized Approach

Traditional facial plastic surgery often relies on general anesthesia, which can involve higher costs, increased risks and longer recovery times. At Weber Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Weber utilizes advanced techniques, local anesthesia and oral sedation—often referred to as “beauty sleep” sedation—to create a calm, comfortable environment for patients.

This approach allows you to remain relaxed and pain-free throughout your procedure while avoiding the potential complications associated with general anesthesia. From advanced facelifts to precision neck contouring, patients can undergo complex, high-quality procedures in a safer, more streamlined way.

Benefits of Avoiding General Anesthesia

Choosing procedures without general anesthesia offers numerous advantages, both during and after your surgery:

By eliminating the use of general anesthesia, patients avoid its associated risks, including breathing complications, nausea and prolonged grogginess.

Faster Recovery

Patients are able to return home more quickly, often resuming light activities sooner than with traditional approaches.

Lower Cost

Without anesthesia or hospital-related facility fees, overall costs are significantly reduced.

Reduced Post-Operative Side Effects
