How long does recovery from a smaller surgery take?
Recovery and aftercare depends on the type of surgery you have and where it’s performed.I n general, smaller surgeries require minimal downtime and you can often return to your regular activities right away without booking time off.
Is there aftercare for mole or skin tag removal?
We’ll fill you in on everything you need to know for beautiful, effective healing after you have a small-scale surgery. Keeping the treated area clean is essential, and avoiding strain so that your sutures can heal effectively is important. Sun protection is key since freshly healed areas are especially sensitive to sunlight. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more and UVA/UVB protection. Your aftercare instructions will include clear guidelines for keeping the area clean and giving it the best opportunity to hear without scarring or discomfort.
