Post-Surgery Care Guide

🏥 General Post-Surgery Care Instructions

Following your cosmetic procedure at Anhe Meige, proper aftercare is essential for optimal recovery. Here are general guidelines that apply to most procedures:

Rest: Get plenty of rest for the first 48-72 hours. Avoid strenuous activities.
Elevation: Keep your head elevated (use 2-3 pillows) to reduce swelling, especially for facial procedures.
Medication: Take prescribed medications as directed. Do not skip doses or self-adjust.
Cold Compress: Apply cold compresses as directed (typically 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off) for the first 48 hours.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet rich in protein and vitamins.
Avoid: No alcohol, smoking, or blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) unless approved by your surgeon.
Sun Protection: Avoid direct sunlight on treated areas. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen when going outdoors.
Follow-up: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments, including remote video consultations after you return home.

Hygiene

Follow your surgeon's instructions for wound care. Avoid submerging incision sites in water until cleared by your doctor.
