Has anyone had any outpatient plastics done in the surgeons office before?

I had plastics done in July 2010. I saw my surgeon yesterday for my 3 month check-up - had the batwings under my arms removed. One arm still does not have full mobility so she is sending me to physical therapy for 6 weeks. If that doesn't work, she is going to perform a Z procedure under my arm to shift the scar.
 
I also have 5 small 'tweaks' she needs to take care of (cones on my back, fat pockets, saggy nipple, etc). She is going to do (2) separate procedures in January to correct these.
 
She mentioned that I will be awake during both procedures and I won't be given anesthesia as it is being done in her local office. Also, she typically doesn't prescribe Valium or anything of the sort to take prior to the procedure.

Has anyone had skin cut/removed inside of a surgeon's office where they were awake during the procedure? Was it painful for you (during the procedure and/or the recovery)?

I'm invisioning being awake watching my skin being sliced off and it's not a pretty thought. Any insight would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

I have not.  My PS did say that if he could not do the breast lift at the same time he did the augmentation, then the lift would be minor and something that would be done in his office.

Now, he's aspirated a seroma and opened up an incision in his office and both times he told me I could look away or would recline me so it was harder to watch.  I of course watched anyway.  

My guess is that for anything bigger, you would be draped in a way that you could not see what was going on.

Now, as for pain - I have had a core biopsy of my breast about 2 years ago - think drill bit to deep in the breast tissue.  That was done at the hospital radiology dept, by the radiologist.  I was draped and on my side and numbed up pretty darn well.  I did not feel a thing considering how far they went in.

If there was any question as to whether or not it would be too painful or too messy, they would never do the procedures in their office unless they had a surgical suite on site.

Unless of course your PS' name is Dr. Frankenstein. 

I did. Tweeks in the office are very common so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I had a minor procedure done about a month ago. I was pretty nervous when they started but I couldn't feel a thing. They just inject you with numbing medicine so you don't feel them cutting on you. I looked away the entire time because I couldn't bare to see my flesh! Anyhow, I made it through and just took some pain pills once the numbing wore off. The shots was the most painful part and it wasn't too bad because the lidocaine starts working pretty quickly. The nurses and dr did a good job talking to me to help keep my mind off of what was going on. Once I knew I couldn't feel anything I was able to relax better.
