About 80% of our patients go home the same day. You can expect to have surgical drains for 4 to 5 days, and you’ll wear a compression garment to minimize any swelling. Soon after your surgery, you’ll need to start taking short walks around the house to promote blood circulation. Other than that, you’ll want to take it easy for the first couple of weeks.
