This would be a private muse who would be helping me at the hospital (overnight), not at home. My surgeon offers this to patients at an extra charge & I’m wondering if it is needed. I don’t want to risk not having proper medical care, but I’m also spending a huge amount for the procedure & would only want this if it is truly advised.

Answer: Help after a facelift There is no hard and fast rule on this. It is a personal preference and depends on how many procedures will be preformed, your health and level of assistance you are expecting. I perform my surgeries at St Francisco Hospital in San Francisco and they are very good about providing the care that is needed without the need for hiring an additional person. Many patients go home after surgery. Out of town patients often stay at a nearby hotel and in this case without an adult there to coordinate medication, ambulatory assistance, I do require these patients to hire someone for a couple of days but it does not have to be a nurse. Hope this help! Michael Kulick MD San francisco, Ca
