I. Why is postoperative care so important?

Many people only focus on the surgery itself before the procedure but overlook the importance of postoperative care. In fact, the success of the surgery is just the first step; the quality of postoperative care directly determines the final outcome.

⚠️ Consequences of improper post-treatment care

  • Infection at the wound site can prolong the recovery period.
  • The scar is quite noticeable, which affects the appearance.
  • The swelling reduction is uneven, and the results are not satisfactory.
  • If the Graft Survival Rate is low, the surgery is essentially meaningless.
  • Prosthesis displacement or infection
