What To Expect
You've just had surgery, now what?
Prepare
The more time you spend preparing for your recovery, the better it will be. My patients who show up on the morning of surgery having prepared for a great recovery get just that. A few of my pre-surgery steps: Plan what food will fuel your recovery; have a range of options so you will be successful and not default to pizza; have a spot in your bedroom where all your dressing and drain care will be handled (I call this area a ‘clean space’); lay down a small clean towel and organize everything; and have your nightstand prepared with the things you may want within reach. Don’t forget a straw, lip balm, your post-op instructions and phone chargers.
Don’t Judge Your Results
This is a big one. My most successful patients plan on not looking in the mirror much for the first week. Some even tape newspapers over the mirrors. Hardcore, but brilliant. Taking this part of the recovery process out of the equation is seriously wonderful—focus on filling yourself with the good and remembering that healing takes time.
How To Avoid Complications and Speed Up Recovery
*Stop smoking
Stop smoking 3–4 weeks prior to your surgery and afterward. Smoking causes a lack of oxygen, which prevents blood flow to the wound site and can lead to major complications.
*Improve your diet
Do not underestimate the power of healthy eating pre-and-post-surgery. Good nutrition is critical to successful wound healing and can actually speed up your recovery.
I can help you get a meal plan together. Simple things, such as ample amounts of protein, good carbohydrates, plenty of water, and vitamins, such as vitamin C, vitamin B complex, zinc, and collagen all help the healing process.
*Refrain from exercising
Do not exercise until the doctor releases you to do so. Once you are given the go-ahead to exercise, ease back into it. Do not over-exercise once you are released to exercise. Your body has gone through a lot and needs time to heal.
