What Is Post-Plastic Surgery Care?
Post-plastic surgery at your home or hotel is nursing care and practical support provided after you have been discharged to recover at your home or hotel. Depending on your care plan, services may include incision and dressing care, surgical drain support, assistance with prescribed medications, monitoring and help with daily activities.
Your surgeon directs your surgical recovery. Our team helps you follow the instructions provided by your surgical team.

After a tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, your care plan may involve dressings, surgical drains, prescribed compression garments and movement restrictions. Home nursing support can help you manage these instructions and daily activities.

Mommy Makeover Recovery Care
A mommy makeover combines procedures, often involving the breasts and abdomen. Your home care plan should reflect every procedure performed, including overlapping activity restrictions and postoperative care requirements.
