Is paranoia after surgery about healing normal? (Photo)

My patients have lots of concerns after surgery pretty much like you say. As long as you follow your surgeon's instructions particularly with regard to physical activity limits, you will be fine. And keep communication lines open with your surgeon if issues do actually come up.Try to enjoy your results - it's great you are so happy with them!

Hi OCoastMomma,



Being worried about healing properly after a surgery is normal. However, excessive amounts of worrying can be debilitating. Visiting your plastic surgeon for assessment can help you become reassured of your condition.
