How to Take Care of Yourself after Your Facelift

You’ve invested a lot of time and energy in finding the right surgeon for your facelift, researching everything about what will happen during the procedure, and preparing for the actual surgery. To ensure that investment will pay off with the results you desire, you want to be fully prepared for what happens when the surgery is done. Facelift aftercare is an important part of the process, and you don’t want to neglect it.

The postoperative period, especially the hours immediately after surgery, is important to the recovery process. Many people find they want the security of spending those first few days in a facility where they can get around-the-clock skilled medical care and personalized attention to ensure their face is healing as it should. Luxury wellness centers, such as Pearl Recovery Retreat, are ideal for facelift aftercare. Arranging a stay at a facility such as this before your surgery can give you extra peace of mind that you will be in good hands throughout all phases of your facelift procedure.

What to Look for in a Facelift Aftercare Center

Perhaps the most important criterion for a wellness center is a highly qualified medical staff. Experienced, licensed nurses can make all the difference during the healing process, especially during the first few days when it’s crucial to keep an eye on your facelift to make sure there aren’t any problems. Your physician may even be affiliated with a wellness center to ensure seamless medical care and supervision.

A premium wellness center can also relieve any stress you may have about what recovery from your facelift will be like. An attentive staff means you don’t have to try and recruit family members, friends, or neighbors to take care of you after surgery. Pearl Recovery Retreat can also arrange for transportation to and from our office for any necessary appointments.

Because your body will have gone through a lot during surgery, you will want a place of serenity and relaxation, where you will feel pampered as all your needs are anticipated and met. A luxurious wellness center gives you comfort and privacy. Some facilities are in standalone buildings, while others are in luxury hotels—Pearl Recovery Retreat is in its own wing at the five-star Viceroy L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills.

If you want to research centers before choosing one, ask if it’s possible to take a tour before scheduling your stay. You’ll also want to review the amenities offered to make sure they suit your needs. Often, you’ll find that the centers paying the closest attention to the small details will provide you with the best experience. Some amenities to look for: private rooms with a comfortable bed, soft linens and picturesque views, space for any visitors who come to your room, easy access to your private bathroom, soft and soothing lighting, custom menu options, and in-room entertainment such as a TV and Wi-Fi access. High-end centers such as Pearl will also go above and beyond with services such as juice cleanses, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or a private duty nurse who will travel with you to ease the transition back to your home.

Don’t wait to think about facelift aftercare until after your surgery is done. Making these arrangements beforehand will ensure the optimal post-operative experience, so all you have to do is rest, relax, and heal.
