Malka- My husband had that surgery and the leg pain was not too bad. He did have a wheelchair for a short time to get into doctors offices from parking lots. It would also be helpful to have a cane for awhile. He really didn't have very much trouble getting around and we used a shower chair. The overall result to the face was great. Best of luck.
