When you’re preparing for a cosmetic procedure, there are a number of important things on your preparation list. Between arranging for transportation to and from your facility to making sure your home or workspace will be taken care of while you’re away, you’ll certainly have a lot on your mind.
Don’t forget, however, to keep in mind not just your pre-operative needs, but your post-surgery needs as well. The following tips will help you prepare for what comes after your cosmetic procedure experience.

Stay in contact with your surgeon
At the offices of Dr. Brett Stompro and Dr. Chester Cheng, we’re dedicated to being there for you at every step of the plastic surgery process, from beginning to end. This care does not stop when you leave our facility—after your procedure, you will be contacted by phone and a member of our staff will go through any questions you might have right away.
After this initial follow-up call, we encourage you to contact us at any time with your questions or concerns about your recovery. This process of healing is not just physical but also mental, and our staff at the offices of Stompro and Cheng is prepared and available 24 hours a day to provide the attention you need for a successful, speedy, and complete recovery.
Take advantage of post-op care opportunities
During the first week of your recovery period, you’ll be asked to come back to our offices for a checkup. Our doctors will provide a thorough examination to ensure that there have been no complications or setbacks with your procedure. This first appointment is also a great time to review the particular care methods you can do at home relating to your procedure. In addition, this appointment allows you to further build a relationship with your doctor that will continue with the lifetime post-operative appointments offered by our offices.
Heal at your own pace
Advances in medicine have made vast improvements in recovery time for virtually all cosmetic procedures. With the combination of smaller incisions, intraoperative anesthesia techniques, and better procedures, many patients return to their normal activities within a few days.
In addition, a better understanding of the benefits of gentle handling of the tissues during surgery limits swelling and bruising. That being said, it is essential that you take the time needed to fully recover, and remember that healing time will be different for each individual patient. By paying attention to your health and keeping an open line of communication with your surgeon and nurses, your recovery will be speedy and safe.
At the offices of Dr. Stompro and Dr. Cheng, our goal is to keep you informed before, during, and after your surgical experience. In addition to achieving your desired results, we’re dedicated to making your entire experience as comfortable and open as possible. If you’re ready to discuss more information on a cosmetic procedure or have questions at any stage of your process, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Call: 925-736-0401
