Recovery itself is often more demanding than many people initially expect. Healing can involve discomfort, swelling, bruising, temporary activity restrictions, and frequent follow-up appointments. In some cases, complications such as infection, delayed healing, unfavorable scarring, or the need for additional treatment may arise. Emotional adjustment can also be part of the recovery process, particularly when results differ from expectations. Understanding these possibilities beforehand allows patients to make more informed decisions and prepare realistically for the weeks or months that follow surgery.
