Post-Op Recovery

At Lugo Plastic Surgery, we understand that plastic surgery can be a nerve-wracking experience and the recovery process can seem daunting. That’s why we make sure our patients have access to the highest possible quality of care from both medical staff as well as direct access to Dr. Lugo (24/7) during the recovery period.


The recovery timeline for plastic surgery varies depending on the type of procedure performed. However, we encourage our plastic surgery patients to follow the recovery plan outlined by Dr. Lugo in order to ensure they heal correctly and achieve their desired results.


Dr. Lugo will also provide you with detailed instructions for your post-surgery care such as medications and lifestyle modifications. You will also have direct access to Dr. Lugo 24/7 via cell phone, should any questions arise during the recovery process. This is just one of the ways we ensure our plastic surgery patients are comfortable and taken care of throughout their recovery.


We understand that no two plastic surgeries or plastic surgery recoveries are the same. That’s why Dr. Lugo and her team of plastic work with each patient individually to create a recovery plan tailored to their needs. By doing this, we make sure that our plastic surgery patients feel comfortable and secure in knowing that they have access to the best possible care during their recovery period.


If you have any questions or would like to know more about plastic surgery recovery at Lugo Plastic Surgery, please contact us today. Our team is eager to work with you to help make your plastic surgery experience as safe and comfortable as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!
