How long do I need to wear surgical dressings after a pannilectomy?

After a pannilectomy, the duration of wearing surgical dressings may vary depending on your individual healing progress. Typically, these dressings are applied immediately after surgery to protect the incision site and promote proper healing. Your plastic surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your case, including when and how to change the dressings. In most cases, the initial dressings are usually removed within a few days, and you may be advised to transition to lighter dressings or compression garments for added support. These garments can help reduce swelling, improve comfort, and optimize the healing process. Your surgeon will closely monitor your progress during follow-up visits and provide guidance on the appropriate duration of wearing dressings to ensure the best outcome.
