If we had to imagine a face-lift

Could this happen without general anesthetic?
The Rebbe teaches from the Sfas Emess the holy Gerrer Reebe that before revelation of infinite proportions taking humanity from one existence to an entirely new consciousness there needs to be a anesthetic which wipes out the previous consciousness to enter into the new one.
For the Jews to leave the worlds paganistic culture there needed to be Egypt.
For the Jews to leave overt evil there needed to be the exile of Babylonia.
And for the Jews and perhaps the whole world to leave the narcissistic evil which denies its very being, there had to be two thousand years of hell.
But infinity is being revealed in ever greater revelations, so what the hell!
