This study is a prospective, double-blind, randomized comparison study of different
anesthesia methods in rhytidoplasty surgery. The study is designed to determine whether
post-operative side-effect profiles in patients undergoing elective cosmetic facelift surgery
can be decreased through the use of propofol/ketamine anesthesia with bispectral monitoring
(PKA-BIS) rather than general anesthesia, without increasing intra-operative time,
side-effect profiles, or patient recall. Approximately 30 subjects undergoing facelift
surgery performed by the principal investigator will participate.
