Post-operative Care

Adequate pain medication will also be prescribed.

Wounds are generally closed with buried sutures. The incisions are covered with surgical glue and a dry dressings, which are to stay in place for the first few days. This glue will generally peel off as you shower over the first few weeks.   Thereafter, use of a scar cream such as ScarGuard® will enhance healing.

Your first post-operative visit will generally be scheduled four to five days after surgery at which time the wound will be examined and dressing changed if needed.
