Does the overnight nurse come to my house?

Thank you for your question.  You surgeon probably recommends that you hire a nurse to care for you overnight following surgery.  My advice would be to clarify this requirement with your plastic surgeon.  He/she may recommend a staffing service for nurses if this is the requirement.

Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource for accurate/relevant information. In my practice, I recommend patients have a nurse ( recommended by our office)  stay with the patient overnight at his/her home or hotel. Most patients and their loved ones find that this is a great "investment".  Best wishes.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.In my practice, I recommend to my patients to stay some days after surgery, in a Post-op Recovery Centre, They are specialized centers in the post- op care after performed a  plastic surgery,  offering numerous advantages such as a recovery  in a controlled environment, under the care of health professionals such as doctors and nurses (24h) and transportation to the clinic, also the price is more affordable than staying at hotel or hire a overnight nurse during the initial recovery after the procedure.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
