When planning for your surgery, you also need to consider where you are going to stay and who will be taking care of you. A caretaker can assist you in driving you from the surgery location to the recovering location, driving you to your follow up doctor’s visits, prepare meals and drinks, general and grocery shopping, run errands such as prescription pick up, aid with hygiene and personal care, including bathing, grooming and toileting, assist with wound care and apply cold compresses as needed, assist with walking, dressing, communication with doctors and nursing staff, provide companionship and emotional support.

Like many life experiences, your plastic surgery experience can be improved with a little advance planning. There is so much to consider at this exciting time but be sure to work closely with your doctor and consider your surgery from beginning to end. If you are preparing for plastic surgery, be sure to plan for a complete positive successful experience. A well-planned recovery can increase your safety, comfort, peace of mind and speed of healing. Speak to your doctor about any unusual post-surgery recovery conditions, any possible complications that might arise and the expected recovery period. As with any surgery, some swelling, discomfort and bruising is expected. Your specific procedure and individual circumstances will determine what you can expect from your successful recovery.

Here are some general timelines when figuring out your minimum stay with us, please keep in mind that these can change depending on your own personal healing process:
