All my plastic surgery has been reconstructive. In fact, I am having two more surgeries this summer to finish up (fingers crossed). I went in for my first surgery when I was about 2 weeks old and I have been having them ever since. I was born with a cleft lip and I was attacked by a dog when I was 11. All my reconstruction has been on my face. The surgery itself is not painful, usually due to a wonderful dose of anesthetic. Depending on the procedure you are having, you could be lucky enough to get knocked out (personally, a better way to go in my book) or just get a local, where you are numb but are awake during the procedure. Whatever the procedure, especially for reconstruction, I say any pain you go through is minimal when compared with the results you will see after. And if all else fails, ask your doc for a strong prescription of pain killers.
