Rhinoplasty

Need a nose adjustment? Rhinoplasty surgery—getting your nose reshaped—could be just what the doctor ordered. Rhinoplasty surgery is tailored to your individual needs – from total nose reshaping to a small hump removal. Post-operative recovery involves soreness and some mild bruising, however, in a week, you can be back in your office, tending to business as usual. And the clincher? A whopping 80-90% of your bruising and swelling with disappear within the first week! Total healing takes longer but, those are changes often only noticed by you (or you close friends). Remarkably, a great majority of patients have relatively mild pain. Exercise can be resumed after 2 weeks.

Liposuction

Liposuction, is a powerful surgery that helps our patients reduce excess fat. Targeted liposuction of the abdomen, arms, legs, or neck is associated with moderate pain, swelling, and bruising that peaks at around the third day after surgery. As ambulatory procedure, you’ll go home right after the surgery. Recovery begins immediately, and you will be walking around and eating the same day. Most patients can resume exercise in a few days with no limitations.

Breast Augmentation

Should you choose to boost your breast size, chances are you’ll want to get back to normal as soon as possible. The breast augmentation surgery is ideal because it is day-surgery that does not require intensive recovery times. You’ll go home on the same day as the surgery. To heal and recuperate quickly, plan to take at least 5-7 days off from work. Get plenty of rest and don’t put too much stress on your body. Keeping physical activity to a minimum will bolster even faster recovery times, maximizing your success for optimized results. Most patients are back to cardio in 2 weeks with a supportive bra.

Surprisingly, by the second week, the bulk of the swelling will be gone. Any temporary bruising can be safely and easily covered with makeup. Numbness gets better within a matter of weeks.
