COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is this surgery? Will I be put under general anaesthesia?

Most patients are in and out within a few hours for a same-day procedure. The evaluation and imaging are done on the same visit where possible, and most procedures allow you to walk out and go home the same day. We do recommend bringing someone to drive you home after a procedure, as a precaution. We will confirm the details when we book your appointment.
