What happens right after the procedure?

The person will go to the recovery room after the procedure while the anesthesia wears off. Ice may be applied to the affected area to relieve pain and swelling. Pain medicine will be given as needed. After an hour or so, the person is then taken to his or her hospital room to recover. In some cases, the person may be able to go home the same day.
