Most procedures can be performed as an outpatient allowing you to go home the same day. Some more extensive procedures may require a one or two night stay. Your surgeon will discuss the best options for you. Most procedures will be accompanied by some degree of pain or discomfort, but this is often minimal and will be controlled with oral pain medication.
Any surgical procedure entails some risk.
Each procedure has it's own inherent risks or complications and these will be discussed with you in detail prior to surgery. Some swelling and bruising can be expected with any procedure. Swelling will usually begin to subside within several days, while bruising may take several weeks to completely fade. If the bruising is in a visible area, makeup may be used to cover any discoloration. Many procedures are performed under a local anesthetic.
