Postoperative Care Following Plastic Surgery

The recovery time frame depends not only on the type of procedure but also on the health of the patient and whether they followed post op instructions the doc gave. Here’s what you can expect while you recover:

Initial Recovery Period

The first week post-surgery is the most important for healing. Patients will experience swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort. You can take it easy, refrain from any physical exertion, and stick to the aftercare guidelines your doctor provided following the procedure.

Gradual Healing

The swelling and bruising should clear up within two to four weeks in most cases. If stitches are required, they are usually taken out in this time frame. Individuals can slowly return to light activities but not to any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise.

Long-Term Recovery

A procedure like a knee replacement may take several months of recovery before it feels normal again. The scars will fade with time, and as the body heals, the final results will become clearer over time. Routine follow-up visits with your surgeon are very important to see how things are developing and answer any concerns.
