The success rate is over 90%, so you have nothing to worry about really. There are complications with all surgeries. MVD has less of a chance of causing complications then male neo-natal male circumcision and that is performed on a regular basis on baby boys in hospitals, which I wish it wasn't because it is a violation of the baby boy's human rights and is an unnecessary procedure, but that is a different discussion.
I have spoken with Dr. Janetta, the man who created this procedure, and he successfully performed MVD on a 22 month old once. So he knows what he is doing. Just make sure you find someone who is very good at performing MVD, such as Dr. Janetta. I am going to get it done in a month or so. Don't let the videos of the procedure on the internet scare you out of the doing the procedure.
I highly doubt you will experience any side-effects/complications months after the procedure. All of the complications above occur pretty close to when the procedure was done or immediately after the procedure was done.
