Establish healthy habits
The road to recovery after body contouring surgery can take some time and adjustment. It’s important that you develop and maintain healthy lifestyle habits before you have this type of surgery. If you’re already eating healthy and exercising regularly, you’ll be in a great position to recover more quickly. Avoiding alcohol and quitting smoking can do wonders for you in the recovery stage as well.

Making healthy eating easier can reduce stress as well as keep your body fueled with the right nutrients to support healing.

Have a good support system set in place
The day before your procedure is not the time to try and look for a ride home from the surgical facility. At our office, we advise patients to arrange transportation and care taking before surgery is even scheduled. Start organizing your support network as soon as you know you will be having the procedure. Having someone prepared to support and take care of you while you rest and recover will help reduce stress, allow you to relax and make it easier to achieve the best results.
