Aftercare and follow-up
Clearance and remote care.
Clearance to travel
The surgeon examines you before you leave: drains out, wounds checked, DVT precautions reviewed. You leave with written instructions, prescriptions and the on-call number.
Remote follow-up
- Check-ins at 2, 6 and 12 weeks with photos
- 24-hour on-call line for concerns
- Coordination with your home physician for wound care or imaging if needed
If something goes wrong at home
Call the on-call line first. For an emergency, go to the nearest emergency department and have them call us; our complication protocol is on the safety page (/safety/).
