Post-Op Care Integral Part of Cosmetic Surgery - Tuesday, February 05, 2008

As with any other surgical procedure, post-operative care is imperative in the case of cosmetic surgery. Following the post-operative advice of Dr. Downs and the staff at The Centre, P.C. could well be the difference between an exceptional result and a mediocre one. Regular follow-up visits are very important in monitoring the progress of recovery. The recovery time and the amount of post-operative care largely depend on the type of cosmetic surgery performed. For instance, major cosmetic surgery procedures, such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and sizeable liposuction necessitate proper nursing for a significant period after surgery.

Post-operative care entails being careful about the area of the body that was operated on. Undue stress and exertion to that portion, just a few days after surgery, may lead to unforeseen complications. You must strictly follow the advice our surgeons regarding post-op care. Having realistic expectations about your recovery is also very important. Since a major cosmetic surgery involves a significant recovery period, you must not expect instant results after surgery.
