Abstract

You can query most any plastic surgery nurse about their "tips" for optimal healing following aesthetic surgery or nonsurgical aesthetic procedures and get a laundry list of "Do's and Dont's!" As health care educators, we are constantly looking for ways to help our patients be prepared for their procedures and optimize their healing time to follow.

 

Dr. David H. Rahm, a board-certified anesthesiologist and wellness physician, has written and published extensively on this topic. In this issue, Dr. Rahm provides the reader with a comprehensive guide that may be adapted to your specific patient education materials and practice (Rahm, 2012).

 

Review these 14 dietary and lifestyle tips so that you can improve your plastic surgery recovery time.
