Procedure After-care

After-procedure Care/Post-Operative Care

During your early post-operative period your surgeon will provide you with the appropriate medication and care needed for your recovery. In the early postoperative period following surgery, your active involvement is necessary for a quick and successful recovery.

Incision Care

A sterile dressing pad will be placed over your surgical wound. Your wound dressing will be changed regularly and removed about a week after surgery. Depending on the suture material used, the sutures may either be removed or left in situ to be gradually absorbed. You need to keep your wound clean and dry. You can usually use the shower the day after surgery.

Medications

Your surgeon will prescribe medications and antibiotics to help alleviate pain and inflammation.

Follow Up

You will be advised to make a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to check on your progress after your discharge. You should see your surgeon at regular intervals for follow-up examinations.

If there are any queries or concerns, please consult your surgeon.
