Face Lift Surgery: Follow-up Visits To Your Doctor Your
doctor will have provided you with written instructions which you should have
read prior to the operation and then again after the operation.
Rest Is Key Managing energy is critical during the
post-operative period. Avoid extended conversation requiring a lot of focus and
mental energy. Rest is the key as your body responds to the need to repair
tissue damaged during the operation.
Doctor Visits Based On Nature Of Procedure Scheduling of
follow up visits varies with the nature of the cosmetic surgery procedure. If
you had a facelift, then you can expect a follow up visit in two days. For a
liposuction, you might be asked to come back to the doctor's office for an examination
three days later. If you appear OK, then your doctor will set out a follow on
schedule of perhaps two-weekly visits for thirty days. Out patient surgeries
such as a breast silicone gel implant or a facelift or many of the various
liposuction procedures will dictate that you schedule follow up visits in the
days directly after your operation. Generally, you're not permitted to drive
any vehicle for up to ten days after your operation, therefore a friend will
have to drive you to the doctor for follow up examinations. For abdominal
operations the driving restriction extends much further than ten days. The
concern here is that sutures might break, therein exposing your wounds to
infection. Also, anesthesia medication remains in your system for a considerable
period before it is metabolized and/or expelled. You're not safe to drive, for
everyone's protection.
Subsequent Doctors Visit Schedule And Procedures If you
appear OK, then your doctor will set out a follow on schedule of perhaps
two-weekly visits for thirty days. Sutures will be removed once the surgeon is
convinced that normal healing is underway. In your examination the doctor will
look for unusual swelling or bleeding. He'll also carefully examine you for
evidence of infection or related conditions of redness and swelling which
indicate inflammation. In all surgical operations, no matter of it's the first
or second procedure, the surgeon and supporting staff continuously examine
tissue for indicators of infection. While a normal risk associated with the
surgery center, infection requires immediate attention. Dressings and bandages
will be changed and sutures examined for integrity. Vitamin E enhanced lotions
can be applied to the treatment site area in order to aid wound healing.
