that might be present post surgery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thus, we will tell you the misunderstanding and truth about having surgery in summer today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. In the summer, germs spread more easily than winter.

 

Even with small movement during summer,

you get sweaty which make bacteria to be bred

more easily;

 

 

thus, it might cause inflammation in the surgical area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

however, recently

the surgery is being performed

with safe and hygienic environment

with modern and highly developed technology

 

 

 

 

so that there is less possibility of infection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. In the summer, inflammation is caused more easily.

 

As medication for inflammation is prescribed post surgery, it barely appears.

 

However, if you do not follow the precaution,

you might get an infection regardless of season.

 

 

Please avoid drinking or smoking for 3-4 weeks

after surgery to reduce any chance of occurrence

in infection and have plenty of sleep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. In the summer,

it takes more time for swelling to be reduced.

 

Swelling is subsided within shorter time in summer

than winter as hot weather stimulates blood circulation

 

 

which results in swelling to be reduced more quickly.

 

 

It is recommend to apply ice-pack for 2-3 days

to reduce swelling

 

 and then apply warm-pack together

to promote blood circulation which helps fast recovery.

 

 

 

Also you may start to wash your face

after all stitches are removed 

 

and keep you upper body elevated.

 

 

 

 

 

The level of swelling may vary

depending on how you manage it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Extended exposure to ultraviolet radiation is poison

to the operated area.

 

 

If the surgical area is exposed to the strong UV

for a long time,

 

 

 

Slight color changes on the surgical area

could be appeared which results in leaving scars

or raising pigmentation.

 

Thus, wearing sunglasses, hat or umbrella

is required to protect the operated area from the UV.

about having surgery in summer were introduced.

 

 

For the successful results after surgery,

post-care is as much important as surgery itself;

 

 

 

 

Please do not forget to apply ice-pack and warm pack, follow the precautions thoroughly and walk around

or do light exercise to activate metabolism
