CosmeticCulture’s Express Recovery
Prior to undergoing cosmetic surgery, many of our patients express concern about how much pain they will have during recovery. To meet this concern, we have taken steps that work to minimise post-procedure pain. We call our system CosmeticCulture’s Express Recovery.
While it is difficult to make any surgery completely pain free, we have succeeded in making our procedures very low pain. This allows patients to be comfortable from the moment the procedure is completed and our nurses take care of them in the recovery room, to when they continue their recuperation at home. Our goal is to make post-procedure pain something akin to the soreness that accompanies a very strenuous workout at the gym.
The program involves our plastic surgeon, anaesthetists, nurses, and patients all working together to minimise pain. Each of these individuals has a key role in working to minimise post-procedure pain.
CosmeticCulture’s Express Recovery begins well before surgery day. This phase takes the form of educating patients about the program and the steps we will be taking to minimise pain. Once concerns are alleviated, patients continue the process toward surgery much more comfortably. The program continues during all aspects of surgery through recuperation at home.
CosmeticCulture’s Express Recovery consists of these steps:

Providing patient education before surgery
Giving patients prescriptions for pain relievers and anti-nausea medicines for their recuperation
Using an anaesthetist during every cosmetic procedure, to ensure patient safety and to administer pain and anti-nausea medications during the surgery
Doing all our cosmetic procedures in a hospital setting, to assure the highest standards in our patient care, safety, medications, sterility, lighting, and equipment
Employing extra-gentle tissue handling techniques during surgery, to minimise trauma and resulting pain
Applying long-acting local anaesthetics to surgical sites during the procedure, so pain centers are not stimulated during early recuperation
Communicating with patients when they first awake and giving pain medicine as soon as patients report discomfort – before the onset of any true pain
Remaining in close contact with patients during their recuperation, to make certain any discomfort is controlled – and altering pain medicines if necessary

Patient response to CosmeticCulture’s Express Recovery has been excellent. It is important to stress, however, that even though patients may have very little pain following surgery they must still limit their physical activities so their recovery can proceed without complication.
