Recovery

If this procedure is done by itself, most patients are able to go home the same day. Pain medication and antibiotics will be prescribed. There may be some numbness of the legs which improves with time. Most patients are able to shower within 24 hours. Drains are left in place and generally removed within 1 week of surgery. Recovery time is 1 to 2 weeks. Dr. Cabbabe will ask you to elevate your legs and wear compression garments for 2 weeks after surgery to help minimize swelling and maximize your result.
