• How can I minimize swelling or bruising after plastic surgery?
  Aftercare

  Every surgery (and patient!) is unique. We do our best to give detailed post-operative instructions on managing swelling and bruising, as well as a general timeline on the healing process. We will provide you with tips on using ice or warm, moist compresses depending on the surgery. In some cases, we recommend taking Arnika Forte pre and post-procedure.

• What is plastic surgery recovery like?
  Aftercare

  Each recovery is different. Dr. Fischer and her team will prescribe you suitable pain medications to minimize any discomfort that you’re feeling. The vast majority of our procedures are outpatient procedures that have rapid recovery and minimal discomfort.

• Will you be on call following my surgery?
  Aftercare

  Yes! Dr. Fischer and her nursing staff are available to answer your questions by phone at any time, day or night, following your surgery. You can expect a check-in phone call from Dr. Fischer on the day of or the day following your surgery.

• Will I get to go home the same day as my plastic surgery procedure?
  Aftercare

  All of our procedures are outpatient, so you will go home that day. You will most likely be required to have a family member or friend come to pick you up after surgery, and it is recommended that they stay with you for 24 hours. We will give you detailed instructions at your pre-operative appointment.
