    You want to know all of the risk during the procedure. Do your homework before going in make sure that the doctor has a good rep. When you get there ask how long it will take to recover, what you can and can’t do after surgery, what the success rate is in the doctors patients of being totally satisfied with the results. How much pain you will be in once the surgery is over. Will you hear any grinding noises or other noises that may frighten you when the procedure is being done (this is important for those who are nervous as some equipment makes noises that may scare a person). Will there be any red marks or other types of marks that will cause the equal appearence of an allergic reaction I wish your relative the best of luck during his surgery.

    The surgeons performing these operations may be brilliant, but they certainly hired some poor translators. Frankly, if you don’t have the attention to detail to use correct English when your audience is English speaking, then I can’t consider you for performing ANY medical procedure on me. I also doubt this will post because no one else has noticed or said anything about it and I find that suspicious. But for those of you who move forward, the very best of luck to you!
