Doctor's advice:

• "Do not postpone seeing a surgeon if you experience pain, swelling, redness, a lump, or a wound that does not heal properly. Timely diagnosis allows treatment to begin earlier, helps prevent complications, and enables a faster return to your normal life. Taking care of your health today is the best investment in your well-being tomorrow."
