Simple to do: Generally, in young babies this is done with a snip in clinic under local anesthetic. In older babies and young children it is done in the operating room with anesthetic gas and a snip, possibly with melting sutures. In teens and adults, it can often be done in clinic with some numbing medicine and a snip. I'd put a few melting stitches as well. They can return to school/work right after.
