He will provide you with complete instructions for your care, including comfortable positions to sit or sleep in, and tips to reduce the appearance of scarring. It is important to make arrangements to have a friend or family member stay with you for the first night following your procedure.
The First Six Weeks

Work And Exercise

If you have a physically strenuous job, Dr. Chhatre will advise you on when you may safely return to work. After three weeks of post-operative recovery, you can resume light exercise, but you should still avoid any activities that will cause your heart rate to increase dramatically. After six weeks you may resume cardiovascular workouts and sports participation.
