As a plastic surgery coach I work with many clients throughout their plastic surgery journey, which also includes post-operative after care services.
It is very important if you are considering any plastic surgery procedure regardless of how small, that you prepare for the surgery and prepare for after care services. You may think that your friend or family member can take care of your needs after your surgery, however, it has been my experience time and time again that this is not a wise choice.
It is important to think about your plastic surgery recovery, even if your plastic surgeon says you will be fine. It is in your best interest to fully prepare for your after care with a Plan A and Plan B. Your recovery depends on this. Think of after care as part of your plastic surgery costs. You are protecting your investment. Budget for between $350.00 – $1200 for your after care, not including any costs for accommodations. The cost will depend on if you are staying at an after care facility, hotel or Airbnb. The cost per day or per hour for after care services, your geographic location and whether you hire an RN. An RN is more costly and not really necessary unless you need IV meds or your surgeon insists you stay in the hospital overnight.
Five hours later, I woke up. No nausea. I was under MAC monitored anesthesia care. Felt nothing and had no nausea. Definitely a better option then general anesthesia. I would recommend not going under general, however it is best to confer with your surgeon.
My head felt tight. I had a helmet on covering my head, which wrapped around my chin, and my eyes were gooey from the ointment in them. I felt a little pain around the area where the sutures were and took a Vicodin . I heard my nurse’s voice, but I could not really see her. I don’t remember how I got dressed, but I do remember getting into the car to drive to the Hyatt, down the road. Once there I got undressed and went straight to bed.
