I'd be very reluctant to have this done under general anesthesia in the doctor's office. Doctors' offices seldom have the necessary emergency equipment if something goes wrong.
Uhhh,
Good thinking.
This is serious re-constructive surgery that will require a hospital stay and a plan to re-hab the patient.
There are things that you must be followed up for and minimally, three days of bed rest before doing little things like attempting to walk and urinate. It could take 7 to 10 days to be able to urinate without the aid of an in-dwelling catheter because of post-op swelling and/or bleeding and the older you are the longer it will take you to fully recover.
My money says that if this is done and you are cast out onto the street the same or the next day you will have to go to a hospital because you will probably experience post-op bleeding regardless of the skill of the surgeon.
You had better plan this. It is no small thing...regardless of if your thing is small or not.
