5 Tips to A Faster Recovery
- Stay Hydrated. It is easy after major surgery to get dehydrated, since your body just underwent trauma and blood loss. Depending on how you are recovering after your surgery, you may definitely benefit from IV hydration. Our RNs are licensed and qualified to assist you with any IV therapy needed.
- Keep wounds clean and dry, per surgeon’s Instructions. You should strongly consider skilled nursing to ensure this is properly done, since professional nurses are trained in identifying possible infections, excessive blood loss, dehydration and/or more serious complications.
- Rest and ensure you have help following your surgery. You will feel wiped out and exhausted after your surgery, as your body starts to slowly recover. You will certainly need competent help from someone who understands how to care for a postoperative patient. Invest in your safety and well being. Don’t take a chance with untrained help, which can lead to preventable complications.
- Eat healthy foods and nutritious meals. Ensure you have a reliable resource available who will deliver protein rich meals to your home or hotel. A well prepared nutrition plan will promote your healing and prompt recovery. Our culinary nutritionist has created special gourmet menus especially designed to enhance your recovery.
- Ensure you have Professional Post-op Recovery Care, who will monitor your progress during those first few crucial post-op days to ensure you are safe and well taken care of. Cosmetic surgery is a serious undertaking and professional nursing services are a must if you want beautiful long lasting results after undergoing plastic surgery. Our Private 1:1 services are surprisingly affordable and most of the time not any more than you would spend at a crowded and often times unsafe recovery house. Call us today so we can provide you with the professional and luxurious recovery care you deserve.
