Before you go in for a cosmetic surgery, it’s important to fully discuss the procedure with the cosmetic surgeon. Discuss your expectations for the procedure itself, and don’t forget to ask questions about the recovery period. There are a few tips and tricks you can follow to facilitate your recovery. For example, your plastic surgeon might tell you to apply ice to the surgical site for a certain amount of time each day. He or she might also prescribe medications, such as antibiotics, which help prevent infection. To reduce swelling, keep your head elevated for at least a few days, even while you sleep. Plan to take some time off of your usual daily activities to rest. Immediately after the plastic surgery, you should have someone drive you home and stay with you for a while to help you out around the house. The most important aspect of recovery is to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions exactly and to call the office if you have any questions.
