Planning for Post-op Recovery at Home

Dr. Alain Polynice explains how to prepare your home for a successful post-op recovery, especially after major procedures like mommy makeovers, tummy tucks, and other body modification surgeries. He recommends setting up everything on one floor to avoid stairs, using a recliner or a bed with pillows to stay propped up, and keeping the bathroom and recovery supplies close by. Key items include gauze, abdominal binders or ACE wraps, baby wipes, dry shampoo, a shower chair, a nearby phone charger, and an easy way to contact a caregiver. He also discusses proper positioning with pillows, including a special BBL pillow for Brazilian butt lifts, plus meal prep with low-sodium options and arranging pet care for one to two weeks to reduce stress and optimize outcomes.
