Mine was very minimal. Local was used. I drove myself. There are horror stories but there are also stories that don’t scare the crap out of you.

If you do ok with being under general anesthesia the surgery itself is not bad. I got to go home a couple of hours after the procedure and the incision site was only tender for about 2 weeks. Waiting for results was the toughest part!
