I am going in for a Gummy smile surgery aka a gum lift and I just want to know what I will feel during surgery?

mrslh216
For my surgery on my first six top teeth the dentist as I remember said she will put a numbing paste or gel type of thing on my gums so what kind of discomfort, if any at all, will I feel? Will it hurt? Will I feel the knife or laser the dentist uses on my gums? Is there more pain when they shave some bone down, will I feel the bone being shaved down? I'm nervous for this surgery even though i heard it is easy with minimal discomfort. Thank you!
