What happens after surgery?
You return home the same day or the day following surgery.
You may experience mild discomfort, some bleeding, some swelling and some skin
discoloration for a few days.
Numbness may persist for a few days to a few weeks around the operated area.
Patients are usually presentable and can return to work two to three weeks
following surgery.
Your appearance will continue to improve steadily for six months to a year, due to
gradual resorption of the remaining swelling.
Following the removal of all dressings, the patient continues to visit the office for periodic
check-ups for two to five years. Any early complications can be detected by examination during
the course of these visits.
