The following are guidelines but, if you have any queries, please contact us 02083473857.

Expect variable amount of bruising
Keep the wound dry, you may clean the wound with salt water daily after the sutures are removed/trimmed.
The dressing is left in place for 7-10 days post operatively.
The sutures are removed usually around the 7th -10th post operative day and the area is inspected.
Continue wearing the crepe bandage or tennis headband for 6 weeks at night once the sutures are removed.
Avoid direct sunlight and sun beds to your scars for 1 year post operative, as this causes your scars to remain red and thick.

You may experience pain or discomfort in the week following surgery.
If you need to take pain killers, take Panadol or Co-codamol. Take the pain killers as prescribed. If pain is throbbing and out of proportion please contact us as bandage may be too tight and would need adjustment.
Avoid Aspirin or pain killers which contain Aspirin as they may aggravate bleeding.
Adequate antibiotics should be provided and you will need to take these as prescribed. It is important to complete the course.

Rest for the first 72 hours.
In the early days following your operation go lowly and gradually resume normal activities as you feel tolerable.
After 1 week you may resume most normal activities. Except for strenuous exercise. Strenuous activities as tennis, golf, swimming, etc., may be resumed after 4 weeks.
You should avoid long haul flights for six weeks post operatively.

Avoid alcohol for the whole week while you are using medication.
Please refrain from smoking pre and post operatively
