Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgery recovery plays a significant role in ensuring the best results from your procedure. Following aftercare instructions and adequate rest can aid healing and minimise complications.
Recovery Phases and What to Expect
Immediate Post-Operative Period
Directly after surgery, you may feel groggy as the anaesthesia wears off. Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort in the treated area is common.
First Few Days
Avoid strenuous activities, and follow any specific guidance from your surgeon regarding wound care or bandages.
Ongoing Healing
Swelling typically subsides within a few weeks, but full recovery may take several months depending on the procedure.
Aftercare Guidelines
Follow Medication Instructions
Take prescribed medications as directed to manage pain and reduce infection risk.
Hydrate and Eat Balanced Meals
Proper hydration and a nutritious diet support the body’s healing process.
Avoid Vigorous Activities
Give yourself adequate time to rest and avoid high-impact exercises until cleared by your surgeon.
