Dr. Langdon on FACELIFTS: Local vs. General Anesthesia - The Langdon Center

The Langdon Center | Laser & Cosmetic Surgery in Guilford, CT

Board-certified cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist Dr. Robert Langdon specializes in minimally invasive procedures to rejuvenate your appearance. As part of his emphasis on low-impact procedures with less recovery time, Dr. Langdon only uses local anesthesia for his ExpresS-Lift facelift and other surgeries.

“General anesthesia affects your whole body,” he explains. “The recovery can be prolonged.” Alternatively, local anesthesia only numbs the part of the body being operated on. It’s safer, with fewer risks and complications.

The goal of Dr. Langdon’s ExpresS-Lift is to rejuvenate the patient’s appearance with as little downtime, side effects, and scarring as possible. The surgery lifts and tightens excess skin to reduce sagging and jowls. With the use of local anesthesia, recovery is shorter. “When they’re done, they walk out of the office.” There’s less bruising, swelling, and downtime.

The Langdon Center offers countless minimally invasive procedures to help rejuvenate your skin, hair, and body. We take a personalized approach to every patient’s aesthetic goals. Learn more about Dr. Langdon’s innovative facelift procedure at:
