Once you have chosen the right plastic surgeon and have your surgery appointment scheduled, the next big step is to get ready for your recovery.

How to Best Prepare for Your Recovery From Plastic Surgery
Assemble Your Home
If you go through an invasive plastic surgery such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or breast lift, you will need to rest to give your body time to heal. After you have been discharged from the clinic and are allowed to return home, you will want a comfortable space set up where you can rest and take care of your wounds.
The best way to help promote a healthy healing period is to focus your energy on the parts of your body that require it. Limiting even mildly strenuous activities such as walking will do wonders for your recovery and prevent any avoidable secondary issues such as ripped stitches.
Have Somebody Ready To Help
Many normal, daily tasks will likely be quite difficult and strenuous after your surgery. Simple tasks such as cooking, walking, and showering may be challenging and cause unnecessary damage to the stitches or grafts. Having somebody present to cook for you, take care of your children, and provide general assistance is key to ensuring a comfortable recovery.
Follow All Post-Procedure Instructions
After your procedure is complete, your plastic surgeon will provide you with some instructions and guidelines to help you best manage your recovery. While some of the advice and directions you are provided may seem redundant, in truth, they could make or break the success of your recovery. With over 30 years of medical experience, Dr. Brian Peterson is an expert in ensuring your healthy recovery.

Be Patient and Understand That Healing Takes Time
Depending on the type of cosmetic procedure you undergo, there will likely be a recovery period where the full results will not be evident for weeks or months. During this time, it is imperative that you remain patient. Over time, the swelling will go down, and the scars will go away. It is just a matter of waiting for the body to heal itself.
