Post Operation: First, the surgeon would have sent you home with instructions on how to care for yourself and the wound. Second, if you have no open sores or intolerable pain then you are most likely healing. And three, most surgeons have you follow up for a check in visit shortly after surgery to confirm you are healing well.
