When do I go home?

Most people will be able to go home after surgery. Arrange for some one to drive you home after surgery. This type of surgery will need some times at least 6-12 weeks for complete recovery.

Pain Control

You will be given pain medications at the time of surgery and a prescription to fill at the time of discharge. Most of the pain is from swelling. Medications like Motrin, Advil and Ibuprophen are very helpful after these operations. If you are allowed to take these medications you should do so two or three tablets every 8hrs during the first 5 days after surgery is recommended. In addition you will be given some mild narcotic medications to. Resume all the medications you were taking before surgery unless instructed otherwise.
