Aftercare
Aftercare is part of treatment
Discharge does not mean recovery is complete. Wound care, medication, compression garments, mobility, sleep position and activity restrictions vary by procedure and patient.
Follow-up in Izmir
Patients must remain available for scheduled postoperative checks. Additional review may be required if pain, drainage, swelling or healing differs from the expected course.
After returning home
Keep operation and discharge information, attend remote reviews and maintain access to local medical care. Online messages and photographs cannot replace urgent in-person assessment.
