There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to
a face lift. Reconstructive surgery is a surgical alternative to the procedure.
Anesthesia with a Face Transplant:
A face transplant is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.
Potential Complications from a Face Transplant:
Possible risks following a face transplant include infection, bleeding, bruising, swelling, soreness, blood clots and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible for the skin and bone graft to be rejected, or to require lifelong immunosuppressant medication.
Prognosis after a Face Transplant:
The prognosis for a positive end result following a face transplant is good.
Recovery from a Face Transplant:
Total recovery from a face transplant takes six months to one year.
