1 week after surgery: Initial recovery

During the first week after surgery, the body is adjusting to the changes following surgery. During this time, patients need to get adequate rest and avoid any activities that increase chest pressure or increase blood circulation. This includes avoiding standing for long periods of time or in unstable positions. Regarding diet, it is recommended to follow your doctor's instructions and may limit your intake of certain foods or drinks to promote recovery.

Usually 3 to 4 days after surgery, the pain from the wound will gradually lessen, but mild discomfort and swelling may persist. Your doctor will recommend appropriate pain medications to help relieve pain.

1 to 2 weeks after surgery: Gradual mobilization

By the second week, most patients will feel an improvement in symptoms, although caution is still needed. During this time, patients can go for short walks and perform light upper body exercises, but avoid lifting weights or any high-intensity activities. Additionally, most patients can begin showering, but they need to avoid spraying water directly onto the surgical site.

Although the pain and swelling gradually decrease, be careful to keep the wound dry and clean. Continue taking your medications as recommended by your doctor, and plan regular follow-up visits to ensure a smooth recovery.

Long-term care: ongoing care and attention

In addition, if you have any unusual symptoms or problems, you should contact your doctor promptly. Understanding and following these recovery timelines and suggestions can help you feel comfortable on your journey to regaining your confidence.
