The difference varies greatly depending on the type of surgery, so hospital guidelines take precedence. Gatherings typically start 1-2 weeks after surgery when swelling and pain have decreased and you can go out. For exercise/group lessons, it's safest to get approval from your doctor first.
It's best to keep it brief, saying something like, "I'm still recovering, so I can't stay long." Avoid overexertion by wearing a mask, light makeup, and comfortable compression garments.
It varies by surgery type, so hospital instructions are paramount. Generally, people schedule light gatherings 1-2 weeks post-op, and exercise/group lessons 4-6 weeks post-op.
When there's swelling, you can say something like, "I'm still recovering, so I can't stay long." I recommend makeup after wounds have healed, masks without issue, and wearing compression garments as advised by your clinic.
While it varies by surgery type, it's generally safest to schedule in-person meetings after your doctor approves (typically 1-2 weeks for casual encounters, and 4-6 weeks for exercise/group lessons).
It's recommended to mention in advance, "I'm still recovering, so I can't stay for too long," and wear a mask and comfortable clothing/compression garments according to the clinic's guidelines.
