Essential Recovery Guidelines
Follow your surgeon's instructions first. These are the topics patients ask about most.
Follow Surgeon Instructions
Your provider's post-operative protocol is tailored to your procedure. Follow activity limits, garment wear, and medication guidance exactly.
Compression & Support
Compression garments or dressings support healing and help tissues settle. Wear them for the full duration recommended.
Light Walking
Short, frequent walks support healthy circulation early in recovery. Avoid strenuous exercise until cleared.
Nutrition & Hydration
Protein-rich meals and adequate hydration support tissue repair and energy during healing.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking impairs healing and can worsen scarring. Most surgeons require patients to stop before and after surgery.
Follow-Up Appointments
Attend all scheduled visits so your provider can monitor healing, address concerns, and clear you for next steps.
Recovery Tips
- Walk daily as directed to support circulation
- Stay hydrated and eat protein-rich meals
- Wear compression garments for the full recommended duration
- Avoid smoking to support healing
- Ask before returning to exercise or heavy lifting
- Attend follow-ups and report unusual symptoms promptly
