This puffiness happens because your teen was lying on their stomach for several hours during the surgery, and also because they received intravenous (IV) fluids during surgery.

Some may be admitted to the intensive care unit or the step-down unit for their first night following surgery. The next day, they may be transferred to the floor where they will stay for the rest of their time in hospital. Others may go to their floor directly after surgery. </p>After scoliosis surgeryFalse
