The result of the intervention can appreciate immediately in spite of the post-operative oedema. The oedema decreases gradually in the days and the weeks which follow the operation.
A physiotherapy of drainage and physiotherapy begun in the days which follow the intervention is very useful to favor a faster and more comfortable recovery.
Bandages are necessary during the first two weeks and the port of clothes of concentration during 2-4 weeks.
The seated position must be banned during the first days following the intervention. The fact of getting up and of walking from the day after the intervention is necessary to limit the risks of phlebite. Treatments anticoagulants are generally prescribed as a precautionary measure of 10 days.
