Postoperative care is included with your surgical plan and generally includes:

  1. Recovery room monitoring

  3. Dressing + compression garments as needed
  4. Activity restrictions and mobility guidance
  5. Follow-up visits for progress checks
  6. Scar-care protocols, silicone therapy, and sun protection guidance
