Surgery is performed under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. In the first few days you may feel discomfort and tightness, relieved with medication prescribed by your doctor.

A single surgery gives a complete result. If the patient wishes, a repeat procedure may be done after 7–10 years.

As a rule, surgery is recommended for patients aged 40+ with marked tissue sagging, and in some cases from 35. The recommendation is made individually after an examination.
