Get information on how to care for your skin after surgery and what to do if complications arise.
Aftercare instructions vary depending on the procedure but generally include keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding strenuous activities, and following specific instructions provided by your surgeon. Follow-up appointments are important to monitor healing.
To minimize scarring, follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully, avoid sun exposure on the treated area, and use recommended topical moisturiser. Proper wound care and avoiding picking at scabs are also crucial. Scars can take up to 18 months to mature.
