The initial recovery period for Penuma typically takes about four weeks, though individual circumstances may cause this to vary.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
First Week After Drain Removal: This is a period focused on rest, relaxation, and allowing the incision to heal. It's crucial to avoid strenuous activity.
-
Around Four Weeks Post-Procedure: Light upper body exercises can often be resumed after about four weeks, but only with clearance from the doctor and their staff. Individual healing progress is the determining factor.
It's important to adhere to all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
