It is common to experience some pain and discomfort in the initial days to weeks after surgery. This can vary based on individual healing and the extent of the procedure. Your surgeon will prescribe appropriate pain medication to help manage any discomfort during this time. Additionally, using ice packs or cold compresses on the surgical area can help reduce swelling and provide relief. It’s crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include avoiding strenuous activities and practicing good hygiene to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Remember, every patient’s experience is unique, and the recovery process can vary. Your surgeon will closely monitor your progress and provide guidance to help you manage pain and ensure a smooth recovery.
