How painful is a facial surgery? Will I experience pain after the procedure?
Most of the surgeries are performed under general anaesthesia, so you won’t experience any pain. After the procedure, our acute pain service team will help you with any pain you experience.
What is the recovery time after Craniofacial surgery?
The recovery time depends on the type of procedure. However, for day-care procedures, there is a short recovery time and you can return to normal activities within a couple of days. Consult with our specialist regarding the recovery time for the specific procedure you undergo.
