Wounds
A dressing will be placed over your wound. You can continue to shower and bath as normal but pat the dressing dry with towel. The dressing can be removed 5-7 days post surgery. Your stitches will dissolve over the next two weeks following your procedure. Keep the wound as clean and as dry as possible when showering. If you develop any redness, smell or discharge from the wound, please contact our rooms.
Pain/Discomfort
This is not uncommon following the procedure. Your surgeon may give you a script for pain relief. Take as required.
Activity
Avoid sitting for long periods and take regular small walks to avoid developing clots in the legs. Avoid operating a car 10 days post procedure until you are comfortable to sit in your car seat and have the seat belt sit comfortably across the torso.
Follow up
A follow up appointment is required 4-6 weeks post procedure. Please contact our rooms to organize.
