Not much, I'd say -- much of the cyberware implantation process is done by
nanites, says Shadowtech, which can be injected without the need for
surgery.

You can simply use the rules from Cybertechnology for this: the wound
caused by implant surgery is determined by the Essence cost (see SRII --
it's not in SR3 -- p. 114), and then use the scarring rules on page 56 of
Cybertechnology to decide how big the scar will be.
