Body surgery recovery asks more of your daily routine than facial surgery, so planning the practical side in advance pays off.
Before you travel
Gather your medical history, medication list and previous records. Tell the clinic about every medication and supplement you take.
Arrange your dates, accommodation and transfers, and keep your documents together.
At home
Plan for a quieter period than usual, and arrange help if you can. Prepare loose clothing and a comfortable recovery space.
If you have responsibilities at work or at home, tell the clinic so the plan can account for them.
Questions to settle
What is included in the plan? What is the recommended stay? Who is contactable after I return home?
Ask them all, and ask for the plan in writing.
Mindset
Healing takes the time it takes. Plan for it rather than around it, and judge your progress by consistent photographs rather than by daily impressions.
Practical points for patients
- Prepare loose clothing and a comfortable recovery space.
- Ask for written pre-operative and aftercare instructions.
- Arrange help at home for the early period.
- Save the clinic’s contact details before you fly.
