Help Someone Recover After Breast Implant Surgery
If you are asked you to help someone recover after breast implant surgery, you can follow these steps as a guide to your duties. As a caretaker, you can do a great deal to ease your friend's discomfort after this specific surgery.
Instructions
1. Be sure you have the time available -- probably several days after the surgery itself.
2. Help your friend with tasks that involve lifting, bending, or straining. Most doctors prohibit the patient from performing such actions so as to avoid injury to the incisions.
3. Learn about care for your friend's incisions. Know which medications she must take, how much and how often.
4. Learn about the potential complications after this type of surgery (see Resources below). You might be able to spot a problem before it escalates.
5. Assist your friend with such activities as dressing and bathing, which may stretch the incision sites and healing scar tissues.
6. Be prepared to cook and clean. In addition, be prepared to offer emotional as well as physical support.
