Listen to your surgeon’s guidance meticulously. They will provide personalized instructions for Post Operative Care, including wound care, medication management, and activity restrictions.

Keep the surgical site clean and follow the recommended wound care routine. Use any provided ointments, dressings, or saline solutions as directed to prevent infection and promote optimal healing.

Follow your surgeon’s advice on managing swelling and bruising. This may include elevating the affected area, applying cold compresses, or taking recommended medications or supplements.

Adhere to the prescribed medication schedule. Pain medication and antibiotics, if prescribed, play a crucial role in managing discomfort and preventing infection.

Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon. These appointments allow your surgeon to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and adjust your aftercare plan if necessary.

Hydration and proper nutrition are essential for the healing process. Drink plenty of water and consume nutrient-rich foods that support recovery.

Tobacco and alcohol can impede the healing process. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake as recommended by your surgeon.

Follow your surgeon’s guidelines on physical activity restrictions. Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that may strain the surgical area until you receive clearance.

Shield the surgical area from direct sunlight. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent scarring and discoloration.

If you experience unusual symptoms or complications or have concerns about your recovery, promptly communicate with your surgeon. Early intervention can prevent potential issues from escalating.
