Rest, Recover, and Relax: What to Expect After Your Surgery
Rest, recover, and relax—embrace a smooth healing journey that allows your body to heal and reveal the best possible results. By prioritizing proper rest and taking time to relax, you’ll support your recovery process, ensuring a comfortable transition toward your beautiful transformation.
Hospital Stay:
Post-surgery, patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-3 days. This period allows healthcare professionals to monitor initial recovery and manage any immediate post-operative needs.
Pain Management:
Post-operative pain is managed with prescribed painkillers. Adhering to the surgeon’s medication instructions is crucial for effective pain management and avoiding complications.
Wound Care:
Proper care of surgical wounds is vital to prevent infections and ensure proper healing. Patients receive detailed instructions on cleaning routines and signs of infection to monitor.
Follow-Up Appointments:
Essential follow-up visits with the surgeon are scheduled to monitor healing, remove stitches if needed, and address any concerns. These appointments usually take place within 7-10 days after surgery and just before the patient departs for home.
Hotel Accommodation:
After your discharge from hospital you will be transferred to your accommodation, providing a comfortable and supportive environment for recovery. These stays often range from 7 to 14 nights, depending on the specific procedure and patient needs.
Rest and Activity:
Patients are advised to rest extensively in the first few days post-surgery. Light activities can gradually be reintroduced, but strenuous exercises should be avoided for several weeks, tailored to the specific procedure and individual recovery progress.
Diet and Hydration:
A nutritious diet and adequate hydration are important for recovery. Good nutrition supports the healing process and helps reduce the risk of complications. The hotel we have selected for your recovery provides a 24 hour room service with a healthy menu.
Support System:
Having a companion, such as a friend or family member, is beneficial. We also offer a full care coordinator service where one of our support team can provide support from your first appointment, daily check-ins, escorting to and from the hospital to assisting with daily activities during your recovery.
Clearance to Fly:
Before heading home, you’ll need a final consultation with your surgeon to assess your recovery and confirm it’s safe to fly. This clearance is essential to ensure your health and safety during travel, so plan your return accordingly.
Follow-Up Care at Home:
After returning home, patients should continue with follow-up care as advised by their surgeon, which may include virtual consultations and additional medical check-ups with your doctor.
Post-Surgery Support Garments:
Support garments are often recommended or required following certain cosmetic procedures to aid in recovery. These garments help reduce swelling, support the surgical area, and improve circulation, which can enhance the healing process and help achieve the desired results. It is crucial to wear these garments as instructed by the surgeon to ensure optimal recovery outcomes.
