The pain after surgeon

The amount of pain experienced varies from person to person, and depends on the method used. In general, more extensive procedures can give better correction of scars, but at the cost of greater operating time, more risk, longer swelling, slower recovery, and greater cost. You should discuss your goals, budget, and pain tolerance with your surgeon in order to help him/her determine the procedure, or combination of procedures, that will produce the best results for you.
