Patients are advised to rest for a few weeks after discharge, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous physical activities. It is common to experience pain and swelling at the surgery site; the swelling usually decreases on its own within a few days, while pain management is provided with pain medications.

While recovery time can vary from person to person, the overall healing process usually lasts between 6 to 8 weeks.
