Post-Surgical Aftercare
Specialty Nursing Aftercare
A plan for aftercare is an essential part in the process of having any surgical procedure. Having home nursing services can provide the support you will need the first few days.
Professional Expertise
Every cosmetic surgery carries potential risks and complications. The first 24-48 hours can be the most critical after any surgery. As a trained nurse, practicing over 20 years, I know what complications to look out for, can recognize the signs and symptoms of distress, and can communicate changes with your surgeon.

Compassion and Support
It may be unrealistic for a family member or friend to take time off to stay and help with your post-surgical needs. Let your next-door neighbor grab your newspaper and maintain your privacy at home or a hotel environment.
