When you wake up from surgery, you will have stockings around the bottom of your legs. These help prevent a blood clot from forming. They can be hot, noisy, and inconvenient. However, they are very important to help reduce your risk of developing a blood clot. Please keep them on. Walking is the best form of exercise after surgery and is an important factor in reducing your risk of a blood clot. If you develop any changes in leg tenderness and/or swelling of the calf, please contact your surgeon’s office right away.

Your incision may be closed with absorbable sutures, staples, Steri-strips, or skin glue. Inspect the incision and change the dressing every day. Once there is no drainage, the wound can be left open to air without a dressing.
