Procedure Time???
Had my surgery yesterday and was told it only took 20 minutes. Seems awfully quick to me but I'm unsure. Dr. Scahfer used the PAL technique, small incision under each arm for my moderate gyno case.

I posted my results so far in another thread and although I'm not thrilled with the results just yet, I'll just have to wait it out for all the swelling to go down.

I hope I made the right decision but I keep thinking in the back of my mind maybe I should have just flown to VA for Dr. Bermat...

I wouldn't say mild exactly. I mean I could grab a handful pretty easily. I will post pics when I get them and you guys can decide...
