Generally speaking, the first week after surgery is a rest period, and strenuous activities and overexertion need to be avoided. In a few weeks after surgery, you can gradually start some mild exercises, such as walking and stretching, but you still need to avoid high-intensity and high-risk exercises. For specific exercise restrictions, doctors will give detailed guidance according to personal conditions.
Regular follow-up
Regular follow-up after operation is an important link to ensure smooth recovery. After the operation, the doctor will ask for repeated visits to ensure the wound healing and recovery. During the follow-up visit, the doctor will check the healing of the surgical wound, evaluate the position and status of the implant, and give corresponding treatment to the problems after the operation. Regular follow-up is also a good opportunity for patients to consult doctors after surgery, which can solve their doubts and nursing problems in a timely manner.
