After surgery
Clear questions. An individual care plan.
Keep your discharge summary, medication plan and follow-up appointment details together. The advice you receive should be specific to your procedure and health.
Where do I find my recovery instructions?
Your discharge instructions should describe your own procedure, medicines and recovery plan. Contact the clinic if anything in that plan is unclear.
How often should I rinse my nose?
The timing, technique and frequency need to match your procedure and stage of healing. Follow the surgeon’s individual instructions. The legacy rinse schedule is retained for doctor review before it is reused.
When can I return to work, exercise or my usual diet?
Ask your surgeon for a plan that takes account of your operation, health and type of work. The redesigned website does not prescribe a single recovery timetable for every patient.
When is my next follow-up?
Confirm the appointment date with the clinic before discharge. If splints or packing are used, ask who will remove them and when.
Which symptoms are expected after my procedure?
Ask your treating team to explain what is expected and what is not for your specific operation. This information should be included in your discharge plan.
How do I get help if I am worried after surgery?
Use the emergency and follow-up contact instructions given by your surgical team. For severe bleeding, breathing difficulty, a new vision problem or another emergency, seek urgent medical care; do not wait for a website response.
