After surgery patients feel some discomfort for a few days. This can be managed with medication prescribed by Dr. Mok. Bruising and swelling may hide your results for the first few weeks. Compression garments may need to be worn for 1-2 weeks to help with healing and reduce swelling. Patients typically take 1 week off work, but some return to work within a few days depending on the physical demands of their job. Results can be seen after 6-12 months of healing.
