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.

One surgery is enough for a complete result; a repeat procedure may follow after 7–10 years if the patient wishes.
