The procedure
The procedure is performed in a modern, fully-equipped operation theatre with a qualified anaesthetist and trained surgical team. Markings are made with you standing, checked against pre-operative photographs and simulations. Tissue is handled with meticulous, layered technique, closure is tension-free, and dressings or garments are applied before you are shifted to recovery. In most cases, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia so that you will be discharged home after surgery.
