As with any Cosmetic surgical procedure, the surgical journey doesn’t end the moment you leave the care of your doctor. The recovery period is just as important in guaranteeing your desired results. To get the best outcomes, it is essential, and you must be committed to following all the instructions your surgeon provides during the healing process. As always, for the best chance of a smooth recovery – PLAN AHEAD!
