Many surgeons offer a plastic surgery guide that helps patients prepare and recover from their procedures.
Unlike other operations, this is elective and tends to come with its own set of emotional changes along with the physical transformation.
First timers often don't know what to expect and are not always prepared for the process.
Getting Started A plastic surgery guide lists out all that a patient needs to do to get ready.
This includes going over the list of medications required, what needs to be done to prepare the body and what to expect the day of the operation.
Different surgeons have different policies and requirements so each one may have his or her own plastic surgery guide to use as a reference.
Read Through All Information Provided Along with the plastic surgery guide, make sure that you read all information provided to you.
There may be some things covered in there that are not mentioned by the surgeon.
If at any time, you have concerns, worry or questions use the literature you have to get a better idea of what to do and what to expect.
Remember that if you are worried and the information you have at home does not cover the situation or reassure you, contact your surgeon right away.
Recovery While you've probably heard from your surgeon and friends and family that you are going to need to take some time off to recover, don't overlook the value in this advice.
The more that you attempt to do, the longer it could take for your body to heal.
It does not matter which type of operation you have, if your doctor says to take a week off from work, take the week off.
You only harm yourself by pushing your body too hard.
There are a lot of dos and don'ts once the procedure is complete.
Use the plastic surgery guide to make sure that you are keeping everything in check.
If you are having a tough time getting help at home or you need some extra care, just show your family the literature from the surgeon to remind them your requests are valid.
From the very beginning, you want some peace of mind.
You want to know that you are doing the right things to take care of your body and ensure that you get the expected results.
Remember that while everything given to you in writing is a guideline, every person is different.
If you think that something feels wrong or you are noticing that you feel better than expected, don't hesitate to make a follow up appointment with your surgeon.
Aside from any forms and written information, he or she is the best source of accurate information that a patient can have.
