What can I do to smooth the surgery process and healing?

Question

Is there anything I can do to make my life easier while healing? So far all I’ve got is bendy straws, shirts and bras that open from the front, pineapple and arnica for bruising, request muscle relaxants in addition to pain pills. Am I missing anything?

Dear brattybutt,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Seems like you are doing all the right things. You may want to ask your surgeon if there are any other suggestions as protocols vary from surgeon to surgeon.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Hello dear.. Thank you for your question!Remember to not do much effort and rest as much as you can. Pain killers should help you cope with the healing process but I'd recommend consulting with your PS for further information or any certain suggestion because he is the one who knows your case closely.Hope this helps!Dr. Jiménez ToribioPlastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
