Considering plastic surgery? Hereās What You Need to Know to Protect Your Body and Your Results
Letās be honest. Surgery is a big decisionānot just financially, but for your health, safety, and long-term satisfaction. Weāve seen patients come in excited for change, but unsure of what happens before the transformation. Thatās where preparation comes in.
This isnāt about overwhelming you with medical jargon or scaring you off. Itās about helping you get the most out of your investment starting before you even walk into the OR. Whether youāre just thinking about surgery or already booked with Dr. Curves, this is the guide we wish every patient had before starting their journey

Most procedures require at least two weeks off from work. If you’re doing multiple procedures at once, you’ll need longer. You also must have a caretakerāsomeone 18 or olderāwho can drive you home after surgery and stay with you during recovery.
Caretaker expectations:
- For single surgeries: care for 48 to 72 hours
- For combination surgeries: at least one week of full-time care
We can connect you with trusted local caretakers if needed.

Why BMI MattersBMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. The ideal range is 20 to 25. A BMI over 30 increases surgical risk. If youāre overweight, we recommend losing excess weight before surgery. It leads to more predictable, longer-lasting results. On the flip side, if you’re too lean and want fat transfer procedures, you might be asked to gain a few pounds. |

Your Weight Affects Your Results
If you lose weight after surgery, you may have loose skin. If you gain weight, you could stretch out your results.Consistency is key. Weight stability before and after surgery will protect your investment and help you get the best outcome possible.
