1. Follow Instructions to the Letter
After your surgery, your plastic surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the incision, which medications to take, and what activities to avoid. It is crucial to follow these instructions to the letter to ensure a smooth recovery and minimize the risk of complications. |

2. Follow a Healthy and Balanced Diet
A healthy and balanced diet plays a crucial role in recovery after plastic surgery. Prioritize nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These nutrients will help your body heal faster and maintain your energy during the recovery process. |
|
3. Get Adequate Rest
Adequate rest is essential for a successful recovery after plastic surgery. Make sure to get enough sleep and take regular breaks during the day to allow your body to recover and heal properly. |

4. Avoid Alcohol and Tobacco
Alcohol and tobacco can negatively affect wound healing and increase the risk of complications after surgery. It is essential to avoid alcohol consumption and quit smoking during the recovery period to optimize results and reduce the risk of complications. |
|
5. Use Compression Garments
These garments help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and provide support to the treated areas, contributing to a faster and more comfortable recovery. It is crucial to seek advice when buying your compression garment. Each stage, type of surgery, and body type has its types of compression garments, and it is essential to choose the right one for better results. |
 |
EXTRA TIPS!
If you have never used a compression garment before, we recommend wearing a soft one two weeks before your surgery. It can be the same one you will use for stage 1, allowing you to adjust and avoiding a traumatic adaptation process later on.
The compression garment can help alleviate some pain if you wear it cold. To do this, you can put the dry garment in a plastic bag and then place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes until the fabric is cold.

6. Maintain a Positive Mental State
The mental state plays an important role in recovery after plastic surgery. Maintain a positive attitude and focus on the positive results you expect to achieve. Stress and anxiety can negatively affect recovery, so practice relaxation techniques and self-care to maintain a calm and optimistic mental state. |
*Conclusion:*
A successful postoperative recovery requires care, attention, and patience. By following these tricks and tips, you will be on the right path to a complication-free recovery and optimal results that will make you feel confident and satisfied with your new appearance. Always remember to consult your plastic surgeon for personalized guidance throughout the recovery process.
