Today, with the use of new anesthetic drugs that are rapidly metabolized by the body, recovery after general or intravenous anesthesia is faster and easier. Over 95% of all our cosmetic procedures do not require an overnight stay in the clinic, regardless of the type of procedure and the type of anesthesia used. Medical history of conditions such as diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, and hypertension, do not usually require hospitalization after surgery. For other procedures, an overnight stay at the clinic is required, depending on the type of procedure and other medical reasons.
Many patients are concerned or have had the unpleasant experience of nausea and vomiting after surgery. If the appropriate measures are taken, this side effect can be avoided. First of all, any anesthesia should be administered on an empty stomach. During anesthesia, intravenous pharmacological prophylaxis for nausea is administered, resulting in 99% of our surgeries having no postoperative nausea and vomiting.
To leave the clinic, certain criteria must be met. You must feel well, with stable blood pressure and pulse, be able to walk steadily without support, eat and drink without nausea, be free of pain, and have clean bandages (if any). You are not allowed to drive on the day of the operation and should not plan to work on that day. You must have someone accompany you when you leave the clinic.
