Getting some work done on your face is a multi-step endeavor needing full attention and diligence. 

Aside from choosing a competent surgeon, another crucial part of the entire facial surgery process is the recovery period.  Going under the knife means there will be incisions, skin bruising, and major adjustments to your bone structure.  Taking the proper steps for a stress-free recovery is important in achieving desired results, and here are some examples to guide you through the process.

Make advanced arrangements for your loved ones.  Don’t be afraid to ask for and receive help.  Save yourself a lot of worrying by hiring a nanny, an assistant, or a cook to fulfill your duties during your recovery period.  Be ready to take time off work, too.  This is a temporary set-up, and taking these steps will give you peace of mind, knowing that you don’t have to work and that your loved ones are taken care of.

Form a support group. Ask your closest friends and family to be by your side during your recovery.  For two to three weeks, you will not be as active as you used to be.  Having the people you trust around you will not only make you feel better, they can also aid you in taking your pain medication and make sure that you are doing all the necessary steps for a successful recovery.

Listen to Your doctor.  Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor questions during your recovery.  Even trustworthy online sources of advice on how to treat scars will not be as good as the say of your cosmetic surgeon.
