Topical Anesthesia | Preparation & Expectations | Home Care and Complications

What happens right after the procedure?

If no hospital stay is needed for recovery, a person can usually go home shortly after the procedure. If a sedative was used, an hour or two of monitoring may be needed. Someone else must drive the person home if a sedative was used. This is because sedatives can impair coordination and reflexes for several hours.
