As others have said, it’s really going to depend how invasive the removal is. Personally, all 4 of mine were impacted, and 90* out of what they should have been. So there was slicing, breaking, drilling, more breaking, pulling, more pulling, more drilling, and more breaking, then finally stitches. I was awake for the whole thing. Super fun.
Most people opt for anesthesia, so that alone may make it hard to go to a concert the next day. Some people swell up really bad (I looked like a chipmunk) and have really bad pain ( I had zero). Some people are so doped up on pain killers they don’t know what’s going on. My surgeon gave me lots of Percocet (still not sure why).
Personally, I wouldn’t try to go to a concert, but the type of music I listen to, concerts can be brutal.
The one piece of advice I have is do NOT under any circumstances use a straw/smoke/etc for as long as they tell you. You do NOT want dry socket.
Thank you for the detailed answer! Didn't know that sucking after the surgery can cause long-term or permament issues. Luckily my friend has decided to sell the tickets instead since my other friend can't go either and because of my situation.
