A patient recovering from nerve block surgery and fat transfer was surprised by how mobile they felt right after the procedure. Dr. Robert Whitfield stresses that getting up and walking immediately, rather than staying sedentary, prevents stiffness and speeds healing, especially for older patients.
You do the nerve blockers, I believe. Like, I, of course I was in discomfort, but I think the most discomfort was from the fat transfer part, which was like the swelling of things. But like I was really impressed with how mobile I was right after my surgery.
Yeah, we work really and continue to work really hard to make sure that that's always the case. So you want to get up and move and the exercise is always being able to walk and move around and not be sedentary, not be, you know, stuck because then you get stiff and
yeah,
if you're old like me 56, the more you kind of get in one position for a longer period of time, it makes you feel bad
and
you want to be moving and staying mobile. And you know, the you talked about, you know, doing fat transfers and you have a very nice result. And the more I can provide a simultaneous fat transfer to help in that transformation, I would like to do that.
