General (inhalation) anaesthesia is used, so the surgery is painless. You may feel some discomfort and tightness for the first few days; medication prescribed by your doctor relieves it.

A complete result is achieved in one surgery. A repeat procedure after 7–10 years is possible if the patient wishes.
