Hi Flicker,

When you wrote <deep anethesia> did you mean IV sedation?

There is no set time limit as to how long a patient will stay in the office after the surgery. It depends on the type of medications used in the IV, the type of surgery that was done, the patients medical history, vitals and how they feel once they come out of the anesthesia. Sometimes it's 15-30 minutes, sometimes a bit longer. Some patients will be given a protein or energy shake before they leave, others will not. Every surgeons office has their own post surgery protocol that they follow.

Why do you ask? Are you scheduled for oral surgery?
