Postoperative follow-up

Post-operative follow-up in your home country.

Good communication is a key point in the success of a plastic surgery procedure.

Good communication with the patient (or the patient) is a key point in the success of a plastic, reconstructive or aesthetic surgery intervention in Tunisia.

It is important that the person clearly expresses his desires and motivations. Do not hesitate to ask any questions during the process. pre-operative and post-operative, and to ask all questions relating to the operation.

An information sheet will be given to facilitate reflection, but the most important thing is oral information and the trust that is created. So do not hesitate to ask any questions that come to mind.

Preoperative consultation with the surgeon

It allows to answer any questions or questions that would have come later, it is also used to check that surgeon and patient have understood each other. Honesty with yourself and your surgeon is essential. It is important that you express clearly and simply how you feel and what you expect from the changes related to the surgery.

It is desirable that at the end of the consultation, the surgeon and the patient have a clear understanding of the goals to be achieved. Indeed, if your goals regarding plastic surgery are not clearly expressed to the surgeon, you may not be satisfied with the final result.

Time to adapt to change.

Emotional recovery and full adaptation to the change may take some time, especially if the intervention you received changed your body image very significantly.

For example, if you are planning to have breast surgery, nose surgery, or another procedure involving a large body change, the post-operative period may take several months.

Support you need.

It is essential to have someone who can help you, physically or psychologically, during the post-operative recovery period. Even the most independent people need psychological support after surgery.

Remember that during the first post-op week there will be days when you feel slightly depressed, bloated, bruised and sometimes hard to look at (facial surgery). Make sure you choose someone you trust who will give you the right support. In contrast, kindly decline offers of help from people who might be critical of your decision to have surgery or from those who might be unduly troubled by your transient swollen or bruised appearance or scar.

Also, it's not unusual to be told by relations or family, "I preferred you before the surgery" or "you didn't really need it" or "why did you do that?" These kind of unempathetic comments can cause regret or doubt, especially during the initial phase of the recovery period. Trust the person you have chosen or your surgeon to help you during this difficult time and never lose sight of the initial reasons behind your decision to have surgery.

Dealing with criticism from those around you

The results of your surgery will probably elicit comments, not always positive or pleasant, from your friends and family members: if you have benefited from a purely cosmetic procedure, you may be criticized for having been frivolous; if you have undergone an operation that changes an ethnic trait, you may be accused of denying your cultural heritage; if you've changed a family trait, be prepared to hear disparaging remarks and face disapproving looks.

Faced with post-operative criticism, some people find it useful to arm themselves with a fairly standard response such as:

"It's something I did for myself and I'm very happy with the result”.

Just remember that if you are happy with the outcome of plastic surgery in Tunisia, then the procedure will have been a success. Besides, the greatest reward for the plastic surgeon is your satisfaction and personal fulfillment.

Postoperative follow-up in Tunisia

Your post-operative follow-up is carried out by health professionals approved by the Tunisian Ministry of Health, for a safe recovery. In general, cosmetic surgery operations are minimally invasive and possible complications appear within the first few days after the operation.

The duration of hospitalization and the duration of the stay in Tunisia are fixed by the surgeon according to the type of intervention and your medical file. It is important to respect these times for the smooth running of the postoperative course. Indeed, depending on the type of intervention, we plan a more or less long stay for an effective post-operative follow-up. During your stay at the clinic, the surgeon will come and see you to ensure that the postoperative course is going well. During your recovery at the hotel, a nurse will come by if care is prescribed.

Before you leave for your country of origin, you see your surgeon again for a check-up. During this visit, the surgeon will give you your operating report, an essential document for your return and follow-up in your country of origin.
