During the first hours after the surgery you are under the supervision of a doctor-anesthesiologist and a nurse-anesthesiologist. If necessary, you are given painkillers. The doctor will examine you afterward and thereafter you may go home. Pain following the surgery is individual, but generally there exists relatively little pain. If necessary, painkillers are prescribed, although after the two first days these are not usually needed any more. There may be some swelling and hemorrhaging (bruises), which last for approximately two weeks. Most of the patients return to their work and social hobbies within a week. Heavy physical exercise has to be avoided during the first two weeks following the surgery, but light physical activity contributes significantly to healing. During the first two weeks following the surgery hobbies requiring exercise, e.g. aerobics, jogging, weight-lifting, swimming and tennis, as well as sauna have to be given up.
