Plastic surgery can cause some discomfort and pain during and after the procedure, but the level of pain varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual's pain tolerance.
During the surgery, the patient is typically given general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to keep them comfortable and pain-free.
After the surgery, patients may experience some pain, soreness, and swelling, but this can be managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication.
The level of pain and discomfort experienced after surgery is generally temporary and will decrease over time as the patient heals.
Your surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative instructions and pain management strategies to help minimize pain and discomfort during recovery.
It's important to keep in mind that plastic surgery is a serious medical procedure, and it's important to have realistic expectations and understand that there will be some discomfort and pain associated with recovery.
