Return To Plastic Surgery Article Archive   Is Plastic Surgery Painful? By Dr. Jim Greene Plastic surgery has become quite a popular method used by millions of people to improve their looks and get a better body. Any and every part of a human body can now be restructured, modified, improved and changed to look better than before through plastic surgery. Under an experienced, qualified and Board certified surgeon, plastic surgery is safe and reliable. Plastic surgery is not painful as it is done under anesthesia. Anesthesia renders a person unconscious of what is happening to his body. He is not aware of the operation and so there is hardly any pain during the procedure. The anesthesia may be total when the patient does not know at all what is happening. Or it can be local as in the case of ear or forehead reconstruction, when the patient does not feel the pain but is aware of what is happening to his body. As plastic surgery consists of incising the area that needs the surgery and then suturing it after improving the part, the discomfort can be felt once the effect of the anesthesia wears off. The effect can wear out after an hour or two, or sometimes even earlier, depending upon the type of anesthesia used. Once it wears out, there may be some pain, some discomfort or irritation. Swelling, redness, puffiness is to be expected after any type of plastic surgery. But all this can be minimized or removed by medication. Painkillers remove whatever pain present. Swelling is also removed by medicines. As long as the patient does not strain himself or put pressure on the operated part, the recovery should also be good. If there is any itching or dryness the surgeon will prescribe suitable medicines to cure it. The plastic surgeon would discuss with the patient the exact procedure and what to expect from it. He would normally tell how much pain the patient needs to bear during the procedure or once the procedure is over. The surgeon has to explain the entire procedure, what to expect from it, and the possible reactions or dangers from undergoing it. Once the patient is fully prepared for the surgery, then the pain is greatly minimized if it is there as the patient's mental condition is geared for the surgery. Millions of people undergo plastic surgery. They bounce back to normal work within a few days none the worse for the experience. Plastic surgery is delicate, specialized and focused so there is nothing to worry about. Plastic surgery Find out more about various plastic surgery procedures right now.
