Signs Your Post-Surgery Recovery Is Going Well

Recovery can feel uncertain, especially in the first few weeks. Here are positive signs that your body is healing the way it should.

Swelling Is Gradually Decreasing

Some swelling is normal and expected. If it's slowly going down week by week, that's a great sign.

Bruising Is Fading

Bruising typically peaks around day 3-5 then fades to yellow/green before disappearing. This is completely normal.

Energy Is Returning

Feeling more like yourself each week is a strong indicator of healthy healing.

Incision Sites Are Closing Cleanly

No excessive redness, warmth, or discharge around incision sites is a good sign.

When to Call Your Surgeon

Contact your surgeon immediately if you experience fever, severe pain, unusual discharge, or sudden increased swelling.
