Minnie, I had anesthesia for the removal of the teeth and placing implants. I was not given any other option. It was an outpatient deal. You need to express your desire for similar treatment. It took a couple of hours.

Powerlifter, I absolutely hated the turkey wattle hanging under my chin and even though I have never thought of myself as particulary vain, was just about to consult a plastic surgeon when it vanished. Over the period of about a month it just shrunk to nothing. My ENT, to whom I had complained, just grinned when I told him. I guess that is pretty common. Hang in there.
