BEFORE THE OPERATION
Prepare everything in your home before the operation
Buy food you like a lot, fruit and lots of juice boxes. This will be especially helpful as you recover.
Take the things you will need off the shelves to make it easier for you (this is especially important with breast augmentation). Have plenty of pillows handy, you'll need to sleep in an elevated position for the first few days to avoid swelling. This is especially important if you have breast augmentation and want the implants to stay in the perfect position during the initial recovery period.
Right now is the time to get the attention that every beautiful woman like you desires.
It is mandatory for your loved one to be with you at all times during the first and second evenings. This person should be able to change your cooling bandages if needed, give you fluids and prepare your food, check on you at night and most importantly know if there are any problems and contact us. If you don't have anyone available, you can always hire a nurse or intern to look after you. If you have children it is a good idea to hire someone to look after them for at least 2-6 days.
Remember, this is a time when you are recovering and it is not good to engage in any strenuous work. The first week you will not be able to drive because of the discomfort and the painkillers.
