When a patient opts to have any type of cosmetic surgery, a healthy diet will help ensure a faster recovery as well as giving them the ability to perform their usual daily functions. In addition to making people feel better physically, well-balanced meals also make a person feel better emotionally and mentally. The post-operative experience can be a difficult time, but by eating right, many patients will reap the benefits of having an overall positive experience. If you want to have a better recovery, you need to eat a well-balanced diet several months prior to your surgery. Patients should choose natural foods that are rich in protein, high in iron and filled with whole grains. Dr. Haeck recommends that you add fruit to your diet. Inactivity and pain medication can often lead to constipation, and additional fruit servings can help combat that issue.
