What to Anticipate Following the Surgery
After the surgical procedure has concluded, the surgeon will take one of the following actions based on the size of the wound: applying stitches, performing a skin graft, or conducting a skin overlap. You will be sent home from the office wearing bandages and provided with post-surgical care instructions. In the case of stitches, they will be removed during a follow-up appointment at the doctor’s office, typically between four and 14 days after the surgery. While most patients experience some discomfort after the procedure, only a few have reported experiencing pain that cannot be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
