Instructions
  • Have someone drive you home after surgery and help you at home for 1-2 days
  • You should use cold compresses for comfort and to help decrease the swelling
  • Follow a soft balanced diet. You may return your diet to normal as tolerated after 3 days
  • Decreased activity may promote constipation, so you may want to add more raw fruit to your diet, and be sure to increase fluid intake
  • Take pain medication as prescribed. Do not take aspirin or any products containing aspirin
  • Alcohol and pain medications interact, therefore do not drink alcohol when taking pain or prescribed medication
  • Do not smoke, as smoking delays healing and increases the risk of complications
