Before and After the Procedure

Before the operation:

We will talk to you about the procedure, your options, the risks involved, and the outcomes. You decide on the amount of tissue that is removed depending on the look you require; you are fully part of the planning process. It is essential that you have realistic expectations, and understand the risks that can occur, even if they occur very rarely.

What type of anaesthetic is used?

Local anesthesia is used for this operation. You feel no pain of discomfort during the procedure.

How long do I need to be off work?

We prefer it if you remain inactive for up to 2 days after the procedure to allow healing without too much friction to the area. However, depending on the type of work you do, you can return to work the next day. You may have some discomfort for the first 2 weeks until the area has healed..
