But you know what else is really good for you? Quit smoking. Smoking can affect your healing process. Because of that, you must avoid smoking at least four weeks before the operation. And not only cigarettes: the consumption of any product that contains nicotine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check your medication &#8211; and always listen to your doctor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk to your doctor: many medications, supplements, herbs or even food that in regular circumstances are safe, must be avoided in this period.

For a while, you will not be able to keep the same routine you had before, and due to that, you must be really organized. You will need a friend or relative to take you to and from the hospital. Days off work are necessary, and, at home, you can\u2019t do any housework.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need someone to help you cook, clean, take care of children (in case you have any) etc. Also, stock your freezer and pantry with easy meals &#8211; they are going to be life savers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_3190_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3190_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_3190_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3190_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_3190_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3190_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.northraleighplasticsurgery.com\/how-to-prepare-for-cosmetic-plastic-surgery-recovery\/<\/span><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_3190_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3190_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Post plastic surgery care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/close-up-doctor-using-medical-tool_23-2149103625.jpg\" alt=\"Post plastic surgery care\" class=\"wp-image-3194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/close-up-doctor-using-medical-tool_23-2149103625.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/close-up-doctor-using-medical-tool_23-2149103625-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok, now you just had your so dreamed <a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/products\/aesthetic-compression-body-with-legs?_pos=3&amp;_sid=65d1ad501&amp;_ss=r&amp;variant=34343009419404\">plastic surgery<\/a> and the recovery process officially started.

Your doctor needs to monitor the results and verify your healing process. From then on, little by little you will have permission to resume the activities you used to do before the surgery and get back to your normal life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides that, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to clarify doubts and any kind of concern you may have.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_3190_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3190_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_3190_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3190_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_3190_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3190_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.drpancholi.com\/blog\/how-to-speed-recovery-after-cosmetic-surgery\/<\/span><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_3190_1_2').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3190_1_2', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wish you good luck and hope your surgery and recovery process will be very successful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/collections\/essentials-corsets\">Metro Brazil\u2019s website<\/a>.
