On average the recovery time after plastic surgery -clinic stay included- amounts to 6-14 days. Our physicians recommend a stay in Prague near our clinic for the duration of the recovery. This represents the ideal situation for both the physician and the patient. The first few days after the operation are the most important ones. With a stay near the clinic, the patient remains under supervision of our physicians for changing bandages, daily check-ups, 24/7 on call availability and for the final-inpatient control with the eventually removal of stitches before returning home. For out of town patients, our physicians suggest traveling with a companion, if possible. To the patients who travel alone, our team-manager Dr.Alawa will pay even more attention with additional visits for control especially during the first week after the release from the surgery department, during the stay in the near private accommodation.

These services are the perfect post-op requirements for each plastic surgery patient from the medical viewpoint. From the view of the patient, however, recovery is often more pleasant within the familiar environment of home under the supervision of family. Medically an extended stay is not essential after each operation. Therefore, the recommendation of our physicians depends on the individual conditions and type of operation. Patients who have a less invasive operation may eventually return home before the stitches can be taken out. They may complete their check-ups and have their stitches removed by the family doctor. By individual request and with the agreement of the specialist, dissolvable intracutane stitches may be used.
