One of the most important things that a patient should understand before undergoing the knife, is that the surgery, itself, is only half of it. Post operative care and proper rehabilitation is just as important as the surgery and should not be taken lightly. It is imperative after surgery that you follow your doctor’s instructions to avoid any complications and to ensure a smooth, quick recovery.
Once the patient has finished his/her surgery, immediate post-op care will be proceeded until the day they are discharged. Upon discharge, the patient will be given a complimentary post-op care goody bag to take care of themselves when they are at home. The patient will return every few days (decided by the doctor) to undergo follow-up post-op care.
Each patient's care bag is a bit different based on their surgery, but it usually consists of the following:
✔Pumpkin juice
✔Ointment+Antiseptic
✔Ice pack/Warm pack
✔Medication + Vitamins
✔Masks and gauze
✔Antiseptic mouthwash (facial bone)
✔Post-op care guide
✔Post-op hair service ticket
➕Post-op care: hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared LED treatment, 20 minute high-frequency wave swelling care, swelling injection, facial skin care, oral swelling medication
