You should be ok. Try to get several opinions from experienced surgeons if you haven’t already. We learned so much about our options and the entire process by interviewing several surgeons. Best of luck to you.

Don't be scared. It really is a simple surgery. Well, no surgery is simple, but the least troublesome of all my surgeries. I went in the operating room and 3 hours later walked to the car. Two weeks after the surgery you will use a scare cream for 3 months and massage scar. My friend had her surgery 35 years ago and is fine. Be calm.
