I am wondering if the pain is severe when getting a face lift.

Lately, I feel like my cheeks are sagging, so I am seriously looking into lifting procedures. There are so many different types that I am struggling to decide which one to get, but I am worried because I tend to feel pain much more intensely than others. I would like to hear honest reviews on whether the procedure is bearable if I receive it with just topical anesthesia, without general anesthesia. I am curious to hear firsthand accounts from those who have experienced lifting, such as whether it feels like a tingling sensation or a dull ache. If there is equipment that is less painful yet still effective, I would also appreciate a recommendation. They say you have to endure pain to become beautiful, but I can't help but be scared.
