Your recovery will depend on the type of surgery, your individual health, and how well you follow the doctor’s aftercare instructions. In general, you will likely need at least a week off from work after plastic surgery. Strenuous activities, such as exercise, must be postponed for 6 weeks, possibly longer. During your recovery, it’s important to get as much rest as you possibly can. Giving yourself the chance to heal will help to ensure that you end up with good results. In addition, it minimizes your risk of experiencing complications. Our staff will be standing by to answer any questions you have during recovery.
