7. Diabetics
How Can you avoid these risks?

2. Change of lifestyle: having a good and healthy lifestyle will make the healing post-surgery so much faster. For example, smokers take longer to heal than non-smokers, according to sources.
3. Follow post-surgery instructions well: your doctor will give you a set of post-surgery instructions after the procedure. It is essential to follow them closely for the optimum results and reduce risk.
