I had mine put in my chest under a general anaesthetic. It was tender for a week or two until the scar healed. They used dissolvable stitches and all you can see is the bump under your skin. The first time they accessed it I used a numbing patch they gave me and they sprayed it with cold spray to numb it even more. By my 3rd chemo I didn’t need any of that, they just popped the needle straight in. You feel a little sting for a second then that’s in. Much easier than having them poke around trying to find my terrible veins in my arm. I hope it all goes well for you.
