Post op supplies for recovery: Rhinoplasty or labiaplasty? - It makes a difference!
Your best source for this advice is your surgeon. Clearly a rhinoplasty does not need the same supplies as a labiaplasty. So it is important to know what procedure is being performed.

Post Op Preparation
Without knowing what surgery you are having, it is impossible to give you specific advice. However, it sounds like you have great supplies for most common procedures. Good luck.

Post Surgical Recovery
You have not really told us what surgery you are undergoing. You may need garments you may not. Nasal sprays I would stay away from if you are having a rhinoplasty. Other than that it sounds like you have all that you need and dont forget time to relax and recover.
Good luck on your surgery.

Post op instructions
First thing you need to do is get instructions from your surgeon. Next thing to do, is follow them exactly. Do not do anything and do not NOT do anything not prescribed by your doctor. Tell him of any changes in meds, physical conditions, etc. Do not go to a doctor etc. without telling him first.
