Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The plates can be removed easily, We cannot tell the exact time of surgery, approximately it might take 40min to 1 hour after administering anesthesia. It depends upon the area where it is placed. If the plates are in the inaccessible area, it might take more time.
Nothing to get scared or terrified. It is simple procedure. Be bold and get it done.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
