The surgery is performed under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, and you won’t feel pain. For the first few days, discomfort and tightness are possible; medication prescribed by your doctor relieves them.

Yes. The first 7–10 days require rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Bruising and swelling fade within 2–4 weeks; full recovery takes about 2 months. The operating surgeon follows you up throughout the first year.

One operation gives a complete result. A repeat procedure is possible after 7–10 years if the patient wants it.
