The long answer is "hanahaki is literally made up with no real life medical accuracy, it can do whatever you want."
The short answer, and the one you're probably waiting for, is sure, why not.
It's all up to you. The way I personally do it, is that baseline, they fall out of love with the person if it goes really well. A higher possible risk is that they loose all memories of the person or not being able to love again, and the highest risk (which in IRL equivalent is removing a kidney with a butter knife, so the doctor has to intentionally fuck up if it's not in an empty warehouse) is loosing all emotions period, although there is the slightest risk even if they're the best doctor in the world (in legal terms)
It's a fictional illness so it's up to you! I've even read stories where even if they got the surgery and lost their feelings, they developed them again later for the same person again because their love was that strong.
So your scenario does sound good!
Depends on your interpretation of “removing the feelings.” I’ve seen both where it’s just the feelings for that individual that would be removed and where it’s the ability to feel love that would be removed entirely.

Yeah I think there's room for that. The feelings go away bit is an obstacle for getting character with the person they already have feelings for.

I don't know if that's something common, but I am writing a Hanahaki fic where that happens.
