- This is followed by regular checks on your well-being and the results of the operation.
- The skin sutures are removed approx. 5 to 6 days after the operation.

- From the third week after the operation, massaging several times a day for a few minutes in a circular pattern and across and along the course of the scar with greasy creams such as Bepanthen® ointment or Linola® fat helps to make the scars less noticeable.
