Following surgery, it is important to keep the incision sites clean and well-maintained. Your surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative instructions tailored to your individual case, but generally, you should gently clean the incision sites with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and lukewarm water. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area and pat it dry with a clean towel. It is important to follow any dressing or wound care instructions provided by your surgeon, which may include the application of antibiotic ointment or the use of sterile gauze. It is crucial to avoid touching the incision sites with dirty hands and to keep them protected from excessive sun exposure. By following these guidelines and attending your scheduled follow-up appointments, we can ensure optimal healing and a successful outcome.
