One thing you don't want to do is have surgery on both hands at the same
time. I know someone who did. They had to have some one feed them and
clean
them off after they went to the bathroom. I still wonder what they were
thinking when they went in for surgery.

A friend of mine had both of his done recently, and told me it was no big
deal. I showed him the 1-1/2" scar on my right hand that was done 15 years
ago, he said ouch! I asked to see his and you literally couldn't see it.
He
said it was only about 1/2" and was horizontal across the wrist, done in
an
existing skin wrinkle. Mine was vertical, (parallel with the fingers). I
think the operation is a lot less invasive than it was.

Both of mine are in the palm area in a natural crease. I have to put my
glasses on to see them. Years ago they would go right down your wrist and
leave a pretty big scar. I am glad they don't do that anymore. When I had
mine done it was almost a week before I could lift a piece of paper between
two fingers with out it hurting.
