Kat - glad you were able to get an earlier appointment to have this taken care of. Yes it is a bit unpleasant for a couple of days afterwards but it gets better fairly quickly. The worst thing about my first procedures on the top of my head was I had to wear a square bandage for about a week and it looked like I had a "post-it" note on my head. Pretty funny looking and somewhat embarrasing at work since I couldn't wear a hat in the office!
