Don’t Forget to Eat Healthy Goods After Cosmetic Surgery

After surgery of any kind, most people want to stay in bed and sleep. Food is the last thing on their minds and, if they are hungry, jump food will do.

Don’t fall into that trap!

It’s very important that you eat nutritious, well-balanced meals after your cosmetic surgery.

You can rely on your CosMed At Home nurse to see to it that you eat properly during your recovery. Plus, your nurse will order food/manage takeout for the rest of your family, too.

Your body needs nutrients everyday,  but especially when it is working double duty to help you recover from the trauma of a cosmetic surgical procedure. You may not feel hungry, but you should start hydrated and try to rest small amounts of healthy foods.

If you feel nauseated, your CosMed At Home nurse can contact your doctor and/or administer anti-nausea relief.

Do You Need Help During Your Post-Op Recovery? YES! 

Surgery is surgery—cosmetic or emergency, there are incisions involved. Regardless of the type, length or degree of invasiveness, the human body needs time to recover after a surgical procedure.

Some people have high pain thresholds, others wince at the thought of stitches. It doesn’t matter which category you call into because you won’t know how you will feel v after a cosmetic procedure until you are on the other side of the operation.

So, the only thing you can do beforehand is plan to have the help you need ready and waiting. CosMed At Home offers experienced, private nurses who will care for you during your post-op recovery period—in the comfort of your home or hotel room.

Our nurses are experts when it comes to helping people who have undergone cosmetic procedures. They will monitor your pain and manage your medication, help you with bathroom activities, cover with your doctors and more. Check out our services here.

It’s not unusual to think your partner/kids/ friends,  etc., may not be in the best position to care for you after surgery. They might WANT to help, but have work and other responsibilities.

Your CosMed At Home nurse will always be just steps away—and able to give you privacy to rest in comfort, as well.
