Dr. Khelemsky makes her patient’s comfort a top priority. During your facial implant surgery, you are administered a local anesthetic medication that will entirely numb the area and prevent the sensation of the operation. In addition, you may also be given medication to help you relax or undergo sedation. As you are healing, you may have some post-procedure discomfort, but Dr. Khelemsky will provide you with a prescription if needed. Most commonly, discomfort related to surgery is handled with over-the-counter medication.
