What Happens During An
Eye Removal Surgery in Rochester?
This is a surgical procedure performed in a sterile operating room. Typically, general anesthesia is used. Dr.Whipple will inject anesthesia prior to the eye removal surgery reassuring that no pain will be felt within the eye region. A common concern is that the area will hurt, but most patients only report signs of a headache and some nausea during the first two days after an eye removal surgery. Patients are given a small bandage to wear for the time after the surgery to combat headaches. Dr. Whipple ensures that the surgery will be performed smoothly and with ease.
