However, proper care for these drains are what assist in avoiding infection or clots blocking the drainage mechanism. Our qualified nurses will assist in both performing and educating you and your loved ones on the proper drain care to further protect your investment.

Furthermore, an important factor of your postoperative journey, is pain management. Our nurses assist in keeping you comfortable with your prescribed medication while also incorporating alternative pain relieving methods, such as proper body positioning, aromatherapy to promote relaxation, and over the counter regimen additives such as arnica, if not already prescribed by your surgeon. Keeping you on a proper pain management schedule is imperative to avoid breakthrough pain especially in the first few days of your recovery. Our nurses will teach you and your loved ones about your medication, how to properly administer it, and advise you of important precautions to take while taking prescribed pain medication.

Lastly, our nurses are well informed on the importance of adequate nutrition after this invasive procedure. This is not the time to diet.
