My anesthesia protocol for mini facelifts reflects the highest standards of safety and efficacy, influenced by my training in TIVA (Total Intravenous Anesthesia) at the Mayo Clinic. In my practice, I utilize a proprietary combination of propofol and remifentanil (Ultiva) that delivers exceptional results for our facial rejuvenation procedures.
