So far the experience was a whole lot easier than expected I feared the procedure, however i was given a prescription for that. I was amazed how painless this procedure has been. Obviously local anesthetic made this painless. The next day I have had some soreness and swelling. Scale of 1-10 pain is a 1.5. So far the worst part is the wrap i have to wear 24/7 for the first week. Dr Kim is great...
