Question 2

is the recovery from thigh surgery longer than arm lift surgery? i'm having thigh lift surgery to improve my shape and ripply legs. i would like to know what is the typical length of the recovery period. how soon can i return to normal exercise routines a

Accepted Answer

I : I find that the recovery from thigh lift surgery can be quite prolonged.  You will have some difficulty sitting and walking initially.  It is a longer recovery and usually more difficult than arm lift surgery.  I would estimate that the typical recovery time for general activity is 2-3 weeks and for return to exercise is 6-8 weeks.  You could certainly begin to use some arm weights sooner than that.

Question 3

how long is the recovery period after rotator cuff surgery?

Accepted Answer

Rotator cuff repair: Surgery to re-attach a torn rotator cuff tendon typically takes 6 weeks for preliminary healing of tendon to bone. At 6 weeks, the sling is discontinued. Physical therapy is helpful initially to regain range of motion of the shoulder. Once rom has been restored, aditional pt to regain strength and function. By 6 months, most patients are pretty functional. Full recovery 9-12 months. Good luck!

A few weeks: After incision and drainage, the eyelid can still be swollen and bruised for up to a few weeks. Your doctor may have prescribed an antibiotic/steroid ointment to be used for the first week to help with this. Even when fully healed, sometimes a small residual lump may remain.

Question 6

7 days: The in-hospital stay after a decompression is anywhere from 1-5 days. The patient may need a period of up to 1 month to be 100%. Most do quite well with 7-10 days of rest before resuming most activities.

Question 8

how long is the recovery period after an endoscopic surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Fairly brief: I have seen recovery of strength and sensation with lack of pain occur as early as 2 wks, but more often at about 4 weeks. If the central nerve axon was involved might take 2-3 months for all to fully recover, but commonly there is full recovery over a short time period.

Question 9
