Post-operative Visit
After surgery, making it to your post-op appointments is very important. For larger surgeries like Vaginoplasty, we suggest an average of 2-4 weekly post-op visits. For smaller surgeries like Hysterectomy, Glansplasty, Fistula Repair, and Urethroplasty, we recommend 1-2 post-op visits.
