| Q.
How long does the operation take ?
A. The operation takes approximately
two hours.
Q. How long will I be in hospital
?
A. Your stay in hospital will be two
nights, you will have two drains to ensure no collection
of fluid occurs post operatively.
|
Q. Is there anything else
I should know ?
A. An elastic garment is worn following
the operation for up to six weeks. Sometimes, despite the
use of drains and a garment, fluid may collect in the operated
area. In this case, regular needle aspiration ( which does
not hurt because the needle is introduced through the numb
scar line) of the fluid by the surgeonwill cause the amount
collecting to reduce and encourage natural healing until
no more collections occur.
All aspects will be discussed
in detail at a consultation with the surgeon.
