Patient safety is of utmost importance, and it is generally not recommended to drive yourself home after surgery. The effects of anesthesia, pain medications, and the surgical procedure itself can impair your alertness and reflexes, which may compromise your ability to drive safely. It is advisable to arrange for a responsible adult to accompany you and drive you home after the surgery to ensure your well-being and a smooth recovery.
