I am thinking of having a facelift but I am afraid of the pain. A girl friend of mine had a facelift and she had to stay drugged in a recovery facility for 5 days.
We do seem to like our drugs in Los Angeles. It is the style of some surgeons to keep their patients heavily medicated after surgery. This may be so they don’t have to spend a lot of time speaking with them. Dr. Steinsapir’s facelift patients generally stay overnight at the UCLA surgery center before being discharged home. A prescription of Vicodin, or its equivalent, is provided but many facelift patients find that this medication was never needed. Keep in mind that many of Dr. Steinsapir’s patients have their facelift awake under local anesthesia in the office procedure suite. This would be impossible if the procedure was inherently uncomfortable.
