I was nervous and apprehensive

I was nervous and apprehensive about having this procedure done. At the consultation, Dr. Arif Agha was very good at explaining how everything was going to work and how the procedure is painless (read up on the no SNIP process on their site). Even with all of that, the thought of having something snipped down there was daunting. That said, I mustered up the courage and arrived for the procedure at the scheduled time. Dr. Agha explained me at the consult what i would feel which was pretty accurate looking back. During the entire procedure, I was tense just assuming something was going to hurt. He kept asking me if I was OK and if anything hurt and was very conscious of how i was feeling. After about 10 minutes he said he was done. I could not believe it. I did not feel a thing other than the high pressure administration of anesthesia (which he thoroughly explained ahead of time and does not hurt). Had I not been dwelling over what “might happen” I could have just browsed the internet on my phone the whole time and been none the wiser on what was occurring. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes from the time i laid down to the time i got up. I was thoroughly impressed with him and his team.

Post Op issues were very minimal. Day 1 i had some very mild discomfort in certain situations (mainly driving a car for some reason) but it was never enough to even take pain medication. This continuously got better until the end of the week at which point i was running outside again. I had no infection, no swelling, no pain. Its hard to talk someone through how this is going to go because they have to get over the idea of having this done more than anything. I will contest to the fact that this is truly a quick and painless procedure and coming from someone who is hypersensitive to any trauma in that area.

Thank you Dr. Agha for making this experience very easy and pain free and i will recommend to anyone who asks.
