POST-SURGERY RECOVERY:
It is neccessary to:
- show up at follow-up appointments on scheduled dates,
- avoid physical efforts and sudden movements,
- obey doctor’s instructions,
- avoid removing or touching dressings,
- entirely refrain from bathing in still water (bathtub),
- limit showers and avoid wetting dressings,
- stop using sponges and washing gloves during bathing,
- immediately inform the doctor about any alarming symptoms
Please bear in mind that all medical instructions, even those which may seem life-complicating and of minor importance to the patient, are a precondition for shortening the time necessary for the wounds to heal and, in effect, speed up the moment of complete satisfaction out of the surgery.
