Will I Need To Stay In The
Hospital After My Facelift?

A facelift can be performed in the hospital with an overnight stay or in the outpatient surgery center. It can be performed under general anesthesia or with local anesthesia and IV sedation. Depending on the extent and length of the case, an overnight stay in the hospital may be recommended.

In general, more extensive procedures such as a full facelift may require an overnight stay at the hospital. Less invasive procedures such as a short scar or mini facelift can be performed on an outpatient basis. At your initial consultation, Philadelphia plastic surgeon Dr. David Bottger will advise you of all of these different options and recommend the one that best suits your individual needs.

If you have any additional questions about the facelift procedure, please contact our Philadelphia plastic surgery office to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Bottger. We serve patients in the Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr, and West Chester, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania areas.
