What is the recovery from plastic surgery?
The general recovery from plastic surgery depends on the invasiveness of the procedure. Skin treatments with fillers and botox result in minimal recovery periods, such as less than a day, though the recovery from restylane when injected into the lip can be longer. Operative plastic surgical procedures that involve opening the skin may result in longer recovery periods such as days to weeks. This recovery period varies tremendously from patient to patient. Breast augmentation, eye lifts, and facelifts can take two weeks for most of the recovery. Tummy tucks usually involve a longer recovery period depending on the extent of the procedure, which can be different for mini versus standard tummy tuck procedures.
