Call your surgeon: Call your surgeon's office or refer to the post operative instruction sheet. There are a lot of variables about how the surgery was done that matter about the post-operative course of therapy. If you aren't sure, don't hesitate to ask. Proper postoperative care is essential to a good surgical outcome.
