We will always explore conservative treatments first. If surgery is necessary, our team will walk you through each step, from preparation to recovery.
What to Expect Before and After Surgery
We’ll begin with a detailed consultation that includes imaging, diagnosis, and a personalized treatment plan. On the day of your procedure, you’ll receive local anesthesia, and sedation options will be discussed based on the complexity of the case and your comfort level.
Post-operative instructions are provided to support healing, which may include soft foods, rest, and medication for swelling or discomfort.
Most patients recover within a few days to a week depending on the procedure. We schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and progress.
