You will check into the hospital at the specified time (1.5-2 hours before surgery time, and depends on what the hospital says). After being prepped for surgery, you will be taken into the surgery bay and in most cases, will be placed under twilight anesthesia. General anesthesia can be used if you request it or if the doctor thinks it necessary. Depending on the extent of the surgery, it can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an 1 hour. No overnight stay in the hospital is necessary and you may go home afterwards.
