I had mine out in I guess what I would call a simple operating room. They had a good amount of supplies of various sorts on hand but it was on the smaller side without a ton of equipment. One surgeon and one person to help. Because I didn't have a ride home, I couldn't have any sort of general anesthetic, so I had only local. Felt like a lot of hard pushing sideways on my skin and muscle tissue. Not the most pleasant sensation but not very painful either. I think I would have been worried if this was all done in a plain office.
