Feeling depressed after surgery, often referred to as post-surgery blues, is a normal part of the recovery process.

This phase typically hits one to two weeks after the procedure when patients start to see their swollen and bruised appearance. These feelings of uncertainty and regret can be overwhelming as you question whether you made the right decision.

However, knowing that these emotions are common and temporary can help you manage them. Preparation and understanding that this phase is expected can ease the emotional recovery and reduce panic.
