In order to avoid infection and to obtain the best cosmetic result after your operation, please follow this advice to take care of your operation wound:

• The local anesthesia will last approx. 1 to 4 hours. Afterwards you may experience light to moderate pain in the wound. In most cases it will be sufficient to manage the pain by taking
  • 1 gram of Panodil max. 4 times per day
• Blue-yellow discoloration can appear on the skin around the wound. It will disappear after approx. 1 week.
• If the bandages get wet, they need to be removed, as wet bandages can provide a growth environment for bacteria. If it is necessary to remove the bandages, they can be replaced with a normal plaster.
• Remove the bandages at home 2 days after the operation. You may shower afterwards, but you should avoid swimming pools. After removal of the bandages, the wound does not need to be covered, unless there is a risk of exposure to dust or dirt.
• You should avoid exposing the wound to sun or solarium during the first 3 months.
• When you are out in the sun, we recommend that you protect the wound with a plaster or sun cream (factor 20 as a minimum)
• Sutures will normally be removed 5 to 10 days after the operation. If biopsies were taken for examination, you will be informed of the result simultaneously.

Very important:

If bleeding, increasing pain or high fever should occur after the procedure, please contact us immediately at the clinic’s telephone number: 33114448 or call the doctor on duty at telephone 1813.
