Post Op Care

Regardless of the plastic surgery operation you receive, you can expect a certain amount of downtime to recover. During this time it is very important to rest and refrain from any type of strenuous activity. Post-surgery recovery time is a very important part of the entire process of plastic surgery and ignoring this step can have significant impacts on how well your body responds to the operation. Dr. Steinbrech and his staff will assist in helping you get back to your normal activities as quickly as possible.

Each procedure is different and post-surgery recovery may require different steps but there are some general things people can expect.

There is almost always some kind of swelling and bruising present after an operation. This can be somewhat of a surprising look but it is common and will slowly go away if the patient takes the proper steps. How much swelling and bruising is present is different for each patient.
Expect to be immobile immediately following surgery. Dr. Steinbrech and his staff can help you make arrangements for your recovery so if you do not have someone to drive you home or to your recovery location, we can help you. Do not drive while on medication and only do so until you are well and able.
Do not resume exercise or other strenuous activities until you are cleared to do so. Movements should be very mild.
Depending on the surgery performed, you may be asked to stay for a short period of time for monitoring.
It is wise to schedule your operation in accordance with your work schedule to help you miss as little as possible. There is a high chance you will miss work and patients must be aware.

The most important part of post-surgery recovery is closely following each step Dr. Steinbrech lays out for you. This will help you be satisfied with your cosmetic surgery operation and help you get back to your normal routine as quickly as possible.
