Your doctor may prescribe you pain medication to relieve pain and discomfort after the surgery. Also, he or she will provide you with instructions on how to take care of dressings or drain and when to come for a follow-up visit. You’ll be able to experience the new changes after the swelling goes away. However, it may take some months for you to feel normal about your new changes.
Your surgeon may remove your drainage tube after a day following surgery. He may also recommend an antibiotic ointment to apply on your incisions and place fresh bandages on your face.
Talking about resuming your normal daily routine, spare yourself about 2 weeks for yourself. Also, wait for at least 4 weeks for more rigorous activity, like exercise. Having said this, everyone has a different healing period. Therefore, talk to your doctor about your schedule to resume your usual activities.
