Recovery

As your health and safety remain our number one priority, Dr. M Kayser strongly recommends that patients spend at least the first night in an “after-care” facility or have a private nurse with you and that you stay in the Detroit area for a minimum of 5-7 days after surgery. In the event that you require any medical attention after returning home we would also recommend that you connect with a local physician prior you coming out so that follow up can transition more easily. Our staff will work around your schedule to get you into the office for your post-op visits. We ask that you keep in contact with us via e-mail and phone and when you return home, it will also be expected that at least a six week and one year follow up visit occur. Email, including photos will greatly facilitate post-operative care.

When you are ready to return home, we will want to know how you are doing. We would encourage you to keep in touch with our office and periodically update us with your progress. As with all of our patients, we ask that you call and/or email as questions or needs arise. Additionally, we ask that you send us periodic photos (via mail or email), so that Dr. M Kayser can visually see your progress.

Nursing & Aftercare

Returning Home

Based on the exact details of your case, Dr. M Kayser will tell you how long you must be in the Detroit area. Your length of stay will vary with the plastic surgical procedure, your particular medical condition, how far from home you will be, how you will be traveling back, etc. He will take every step to help you return home as safely and as soon as possible. For instance, he routinely uses special absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed and also uses a special "tissue glue" that seals the wounds and quickens recovery.

One concern of many patients is what they will do if they ever develop a problem after they return home in the weeks or months after surgery. Dr. M Kayser understands this concern. Fortunately, it is indeed rare for this to actually happen, but when it does, the doctor will always try to arrange for a nearby friendly colleague to see you. This has never yet been a problem. We maintain close contact with all of our patients, and if anything, we communicate even more frequently with the patients from outside the southeast Michigan area to be absolutely certain that they are doing well.
