Healing & recovery after your procedure 

Recovery after plastic surgery is not only about physical healing — it’s also about comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. With a good care and comfortable environment, your healing journey in Thailand can be smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

Right after surgery

• Recovery room: right after your surgery, you’ll rest in a quiet, comfortable and safe space with professional nurses by your side;

• Compression garments & gentle walks: these things are especially important after liposuction or body lifts; they help reduce swelling and improve blood circulation.

First stage of the recovery (days 1–7)

• Stay in a nearby recovery hotel with access to in-room dining and 24/7 support;

• Follow your prescribed medication schedule to control pain and prevent infection;

• Keep incisions clean and dry — avoid pools, baths, sauna and beaches for the first 2–3 weeks.

Second stage of the recovery (week 1–2)

• Gradually increase your activity: short walks and light movements help with blood flow and recovery itself;

• In some cases, gentle lymphatic drainage massages may be recommended, especially after liposuction. Don’t forget to discuss it with your doctor.

Third stage of the recovery (2 weeks+)

• With your surgeon’s approval, you can enjoy small activities such as strolls in the park, short outings, or a quiet café visit;

• Listen to your body — if you feel tired or uncomfortable, give yourself time to rest. After surgery, your body may require more sleep than usual. This is nothing to worry about — it is normal during the recovery period.

Safety and long-term care

• Follow-up appointments: stay connected with your surgeon, either in person or online, even after returning home;

• Compression garments: use as advised to reduce swelling and support faster healing;

• Travel safety: avoid flying too soon after surgery. Most surgeons recommend waiting 10–14 days to lower the risk of blood clots;

• Local doctor support: arrange a physician at home who can assist with follow-up care if needed.

Summary:

• Start slow: rest first, then gently and slowly increase your activity. Always listen to your body first;

• Support your health: maintain hygiene, eat nutritious and varied food, and stay hydrated;

• Stay connected: keep in touch with your surgeon, guide, clinic, and loved ones;

• Plan responsibly: allow enough time before flying home and ensure proper support afterward.

By following these steps, your recovery in Thailand will be not only safe but also comfortable — a healing journey in a supportive, peaceful environme.
