Before mandibular angle plastic surgery, anesthetic will be administered, so patients generally do not feel pain during the procedure. However, after the surgery ends and the anesthetic wears off, some pain may occur, which is usually tolerable. For patients who are more sensitive to pain, the discomfort might be intense. In such cases, pain-relieving medications can be used under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms.
