General Anesthesia

The forehead lift operation is performed only under general anesthesia by a board certified physician anesthesiologist from Swedish Medical Center. The anesthesiologists from Swedish Medical Center perform all general anesthesia at the Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center and are in full attendance with the patient during the entire surgical procedure through recovery. There is extensive monitoring of the patient’s vital signs during the surgery that includes blood pressure, pulse oximeter, carbon dioxide monitoring, electrocardiogram, and regulation of both anesthetic solutions and gases.
