Surgery date is set. I have some questions.

I had an appointment with Dr Brassard, which I'm sure some of you know, a few days ago to set a surgery date.

He says I am well suited for periareolar (I think they also call this keyhole?) surgery, but I was wondering how good are the results with it? I know it has less scarring but how well does it heal and how does it look later on?

I was also wondering how long is recovey after keyhole surgery? Will I be able to return to class after a week? How long will I have to take off work (stock clerk)?

Any advice concerning pre- and post-surgery care?

My surgery date is going to be on January 7 2016, and I can't wait. I'm so sick of binding and going to work and college feeling uncomfortable and sweaty all day.

Some extra background information: I'm 23, with smaller chest (36AA/A) and I've been on T for a bit over a year.
