Surgery Information
Before Surgery
After Surgery
After either procedure you will return to the clinic one week after surgery for your initial post-op visit. In routine cases your next visit will be 4-5 weeks from the date of surgery. You will also have follow-up appointments with the surgeon at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and yearly there after. If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, you should make an appointment 10-14 after surgery with your primary care physician to manage these disease processes.
