During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Ahmed will perform an examination to determine your specific treatment plan to repair the condition and function of your hands.

The specific technique used to perform your surgery will vary based on your injury or condition. To best repair the function of your hands, Dr. Ahmed performs intricate hand surgeries to address any current problems. For many hand surgeries at Omar Ahmed, M.D., patients will be given a local anesthetic to numb the treatment site. If this is the case, your surgery will take place at our clinic. For surgeries to treat more complex issues, your procedure will be done at an outpatient surgery center or hospital under general anesthesia.

After your hand surgery, your treated wrist or hand will be wrapped in a bandage before we send you home with post-care instructions from Dr. Ahmed. It is important to follow this advice to prevent infection and promote healing. You will need to rest for several days or weeks, depending on the extent of your surgery and how quickly your recovery progresses. Dr. Ahmed may require that you attend a series of follow-up appointments at our Pasadena, CA office to monitor the development of your healing and manage any pain. For more complex cases, additional surgeries may be needed.
