Surgery Recovery Tips
• Set realistic expectations. Your results will not be immediate, healing takes time. Be patient with your body
• Drinks lots of water and maintain a healthy diet. Hydration and nutrition are essential for the healing process.
• Have a support system. Have friends and family on hand who can help you if you need support.
• Rest. Allow your body the necessary time to heal by getting sufficient sleep and avoiding overexertion.
• Don’t hesitate to ask for help. If you have any post operative concerns don`t hesitate to contact your surgeon.
