Pre Operative Question Answer

How long do I need to avoid strenuous activities after a pannilectomy?

After a pannilectomy, it is important to give your body ample time to heal properly. Typically, it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities for at least four to six weeks following the procedure. This includes activities such as heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and any other physically demanding tasks. Engaging in these activities prematurely can strain the incisions, impede the healing process, and increase the risk of complications. It is essential to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions closely, as they will monitor your progress and provide personalized guidance based on your specific case. By allowing yourself sufficient time to recover and gradually reintroducing physical activities, you can optimize your healing and achieve the best possible outcome from your pannilectomy.
