You will return home approximately 5 days after your operation. It will take an average of 10 days (or 5 days after you return home) before you can return to work, but this will obviously depend on the individual, your body’s natural ability to recover and the nature of your activity. All the stitches used in your surgery are absorbable. This means that they do not need to be removed. The absorbable suture will come out on its own in about 10 days to two months.
Two weeks after the operation, you will receive an e-mail with the procedure for your post-operative follow-up, with photos to be sent on specific dates. From these photos, a visual check will be made by the surgeon to verify the progress of your healing process. This post-operative monitoring also consists of the prevention of all possible complications after the operation. This follow-up set up by the agency will last 1 year.
Remember that you are strongly advised to stop smoking a few days before and after your surgery. There is a strong correlation between smoking and increased healing time. Smoking causes the blood vessels to narrow and take longer to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the wound. As a result, healing can be prolonged. If you notice anything abnormal, you should contact us for medical advice, by email or by messaging your medical advisor.
In general, after four weeks, you will be able to resume sporting activities. A period of two to three months is necessary to get a first impression of the result. The final appearance will only be obtained after 6 months to 1 year of evolution. Failure to respect this post-operative follow-up will result in the loss of your guarantee in the event of a proven complication. You will find our agency’s guarantees in the About us section.
