Patients in good general health, non-smokers, with realistic expectations about the surgery's outcomes.

The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of the surgery.

Recovery time varies but most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within 2 weeks.

Complete recovery and the final results may take several months to fully manifest.

Potential Risks and Side Effects
