There are varying degrees of complication and risk involved with cosmetic surgery. Some procedures are more invasive than others and require more time to recover. During recovery, you should move at a pace that is comfortable for you. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The more time you allow yourself to recover, the more satisfied you will feel with the results.
Your surgeon may require medical clearance from your regular doctor. This is to find out if any underlying issues may cause complications. Your surgeon will discuss the plan for making sure things go well during and after surgery. For your part, this will probably mean no smoking, overeating, or doing drugs in the days and weeks leading up to the operation. Risk is increased with age, but your doctor should be able to give you the best assessment. You should have a physical and blood tests done before the surgery to make sure you are healthy and ready to go.
After the surgery, take it slow at first. When you hit the gym, choose lighter weights and concentrate on smaller muscles first. Make sure you are not overdoing it and putting yourself at risk for harm.
If you are interested in cosmetic surgery, talk to your doctor. You may be surprised at the procedures available to you and are sure to feel happy with the results.
