What Is Recovery Like for Men After Receiving Plastic Surgery?
Recovery after plastic surgery will vary depending on the type of plastic surgery procedure you undergo, the size of the treated area, and the rate at which your body heals. The recovery experience can be different for every patient. However, the average time to spend away from work to focus on recovery after a plastic surgery procedure can range between one to four weeks. Common side effects such as soreness, swelling, bruising, feelings of fatigue, and pain while moving will occur but should resolve independently over time.
Feelings of restlessness and irritability can be common in men recovering from plastic surgery since it is not typical for most men to remain out of work and stagnant for long periods of time. However, prioritizing rest and avoiding physical activity is an essential part of allowing your body to heal.
Following your procedure, your surgeon will give you aftercare guidelines that you should diligently follow in order to achieve a successful recovery. If, at any time during your recovery period, you experience complications, the highly qualified surgeons at Renaissance Plastic Surgery will be there to provide the immediate treatment you’ll need.
