NYC patients are increasingly choosing awake cosmetic surgeries—facelifts and related procedures done under local anesthesia with light sedation—allowing them to wake during the operation and walk out the same day.

The approach is rising for shorter, less invasive surgeries, though experts emphasize careful patient selection and monitoring.
