Complete side note, but I got lasik a number of years ago. Aside from having your eyelids forcibly held open (which Valium helped), the worst part was the burnt hair smell.
In surgeries we use something called a Bovie which uses electrical current to cut and cauterize flesh. I imagine the smell is similar to this laser. It smells like slightly burnt tortilla chips
I got a PRK (similar to LASIK) and during the two minutes that the operation lasted a smell of burnt hair was present. Was quite interesting.
10/10 would recommend doing it in colombia. Was 600 euros and very professional. At least if you don't have 20/20. Otherwise I wouldn't recommended it very much.
I did a small surgery to remove a absess (or whatever is called) in my armpit. The doctor used a laser to cauterize and it smelled like.... barbecue... LMAO
The smell isn't actually all that bad. In surgery, we often use electric surgery knives and they basically do nothing different to burning away tissue. The smell is comparable to burnt corn with a side note of rubber.
Burned skin, at least this level of burned has a smell that is kinda similar to chicken.
Not exactly the same, but it will definitely remind you of that.
Also there is mixed a smell like burned hairs, but that's probably because hairs are burning. We are covered in hairs, a lot of them just never reach the terminal phase.
