The Plastic Surgery Recovery Rules You Can’t Ignore

You get a full pre-op booklet and a nurse walks you through every detail, but when surgery day is getting close, it’s easy for things to go in one ear and out the other.To help make sense of it all, Jocelyn, one of our trusted LVNs, walks through the parts patients tend to skim: stopping certain meds, what anesthesia does to your body, why you need a responsible adult after surgery, and how simple things like pets, sleep position, and meal prep can make or break your recovery.You’ll also learn about the emotional side of it all—how nerves and excitement show up together, why asking questions matters, and how being prepared helps you feel calmer, safer, and more confident heading into surgery and healing.LinksRead more about JocelynCNN, Man loses hands and feet after dog-related infectionHear 360 lipo patient Amie’s smart recovery tips on How Amie Got The Body Of Her 20’s Back (At 40-Something)Check our our plastic surgery recovery guideLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego’s Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine’s Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.
