    • What should i do after an operation?

    Make sure you have someone to pick you up and that you are not alone first night. You will return in a few days after the operation. About a week after the surgery, you will come back for a follow up check up to remove the stitches and see how the healing is going. If it would be necessary, you will be called to more return visits.

    Take the prescribed pain-relieving pills that you have received. Different patients experience pains differently, but after a few days the pain will be reduced. After the prescribed pills have run out, you can take pain relievers such as Advil, Panadol and Tylenol. Please contact us if they are not sufficient to pain.

    You can get a little nausea during the first few days. Contact the clinic if it does not go away.

    Take it easy during the first few days Move cautiously.

    Drink plenty of water, 2 -3 liters per day. Follow the diet prescribed.

    You may bruise after surgery. They usually are gone within one to two weeks. You will swell up. The decrease will be after 2-3 month. No sun or tanning for three month after the surgery.
    Operations in various areas, the same time (eg two breasts, two eyelids) usually heal at different rates on each side. It is common for pain or swelling may be different in scope. Very few people are symmetrical in their body parts; there may be some asymmetry even after surgery.

    It is relatively common in some areas that have a change of the feeling or numbness after surgery (especially during the nose surgery and tummy tuck).

    Since you do not become sick and you’ll calculate to take leave as long as it is

    Listen to your body and not your desire. Avoid swimming for as long as you have an open wound, at least one month after surgery.

    Wounds heal faster for some patients, and take longer for others. Give the healing process time – it may take a long time.
