Fitting Plastic Surgery Into Your Schedule - Tuesday, September 30, 2008
The staff at The Centre, P.C. knows well that most people have very busy schedules these days. We know you may be juggling a full-time job with various evening commitments and a family to care for. We always try to accommodate our patients to make their experience with us as convenient as possible.
We are open Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Your procedures can be scheduled so you can leave here comfortably by 5:00 p.m. and be home early enough to still have the evening available. You can schedule your procedures as far ahead as you would like, to accommodate other events or unknown factors coming up in your own life.
If you will be needing any prescription medications after your surgery, your physician will give you that prescription ahead of time so that you can fill it at your leisure and have it ready to use. We will also give you some written pre- and post-operative instructions ahead of time. If they call for any particular actions on your part, you will have extra time to take care of that.
Some surgeries, such as breast augmentation and abdominoplasty require a week or two of recovery time. Be sure to make arrangements ahead of time so that you will be able to rest fully. The days and weeks immediately after your surgery are very important for a successful outcome. You may have dressings to change, required bedrest perhaps with your head elevated (depending on what procedure you had), special garments to wear, and requirements or limitations as to bathing. You may need transportation to your follow-up appointments.
If possible, arrange for a friend or family member to be with you for awhile as an assistant or “nurse”. Pamper yourself by allowing someone to cook for you, bring in the mail and newspaper, run the washing machine etc. A bit of planning and forethought can vastly enhance your recovery time and maximize your surgery benefits.
For more information on the cosmetic procedures we offer, please call or email our office for a personal consultation.
