Today, advancements in anesthesia and pain management ensure that surgeries, even those involving major facial reconstruction, can be performed with minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia, sedation, and general anesthesia are tailored to your needs, depending on the complexity of the surgery.
If you’re nervous about pain, talk to your surgeon about the latest pain management options, post-surgical pain relief techniques, and medications.
