Dr. Houssock and Val share the most important plastic surgery recovery do’s and don’ts, so you can heal safely and get the best results possible.
We’ve got you covered in the operating room, but recovery? That’s on you. Think of it like training for a marathon: you need to fuel up on protein, get your body ready, and plan ahead.
Find out what to do:
- The must-have recovery essentials to keep you comfortable
- The best time to schedule surgery so it fits your life and healing time
- Why having help for the first few days (and extra support for weeks) is key
- What to expect post-surgery—because you won’t look like the “after” photo right away
- When to pause weight loss injections before and after surgery to avoid anesthesia risks and support healing
- How long to quit nicotine (yes, vapes and gum too) before and after surgery to avoid complications
- When to pause on alcohol before and after to lower your risk of hematomas
- Why you need to stop blood thinners like aspirin and some vitamins and supplements, and for how long
- Why working out too soon can land you back in the OR
- How long to wait before booking a vacation
