You can walk independently on the day of surgery, climb stairs carefully after 48 hours, drive at two to three weeks, and resume lifting toddlers after six weeks under Dr. Vishal Purohit's guidance in Jaipur.

Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol

Intimate sexual relations can be resumed gently at four to six weeks. Unrestricted heavy gym lifting restarts at eight weeks. Consult M.Ch plastic surgeon Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.
