A journal of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
Cosmetic SurgeonsAn independent Australian journal of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
Practical aftercare journalism: preoperative preparation, typical recovery windows described in general terms, and red-flag symptoms that warrant urgent medical review.
Haematoma, infection, pulmonary embolism and filler vascular events are reasons to seek urgent care. This guide separates 000, the surgeon-on-call and Healthdirect 1800 022 222 — without turning a journal into a diagnosis.

Recovery after facial, breast and abdominal operations is described in ranges, not promises. Driving, work and exercise return on different clocks. A stranger’s Instagram week is not evidence.

The weeks before an operation are part of the treatment. Smoking, weight, medicines, fasting, a support person and time off work all affect risk. They do not purchase a particular result.
