The Total Face Approach
A complimentary care plan for you…
A number of complex, interacting factors contribute to the way you look, including skin ‘fullness’ and the action of underlying muscles. Often, addressing a single factor alone will not produce the best aesthetic results.
Dr Timms’ highly specialised nurse offers a complimentary Total Face Approach consultation and treatment plan to all patients. The Total Face Approach examines all of these factors and formulates a total treatment plan – specifically for you.
In consultation with Dr Timms and the registered nurse injector, we will discuss your aesthetic concerns and desired outcome, and develop a tailored plan of wrinkle relaxers and dermal filler treatments just for you. We consider at every point the timeframe and cost which are most comfortable for you.
To take advantage of this complimentary service and book a Total Face Approach consultation, please contact us.
Postoperative Care
IN HOSPITAL
You will wake after your surgery with dressings over your surgical site/s. Depending on the nature of the procedure you may also wake up with drainage tubes coming from your surgical site. These are removed with little discomfort when Dr Timms feels they are ready to be removed after your surgery. Nurses looking after you are trained to ensure that your recovery is smooth and that you are as comfortable as possible postoperatively. Our clinic nurse is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have whether you are recovering at home or within the hospital setting.
Dr Timms undertakes regular ward rounds, so he will be monitoring you very closely postoperatively.
Your anaesthetist will have prescribed medication for you to keep you comfortable – you will have pain relief medication prescribed for you for discharge also.
POST OP APPOINTMENTS
An appointment will be made for you to be reviewed by Dr Timms nurse in the rooms 7-10 days after your surgery. This appointment is usually arranged for you at your consultation appointment with Dr Timms. Sometimes it is arranged by the nursing staff that discharge you from hospital. This depends on the nature of your procedure and the duration of your stay in hospital.
WHAT TO WEAR
A soft surgical grade compression garment is usually indicated for breast, body and some facial procedures. These garments are to be worn for 24/7 for six weeks and can be removed for showering. These are specialised garments and we will advise you where to purchase these garments, how to wear the garments and what type you require when you book your procedure with Dr Timms. Many garments are claimable via your private health insurance depending on your level of cover and whether your procedure is medical or cosmetic.
POST OPERATIVE ACTIVITY
You will need to be prepared to avoid driving for a period of anywhere between 1-3 weeks post surgery. The duration of this time depends on the nature of your surgery, medications you are taking for pain relief and your level of confidence behind the wheel post-surgery. It is advisable that you refrain from heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 6 weeks.
Most activities can be recommenced after your 6 week review with Dr Timms.
