LET’S TALK ABOUT “POST-SURGERY BLUES”
It is completely normal to encounter a range of emotions after undergoing plastic surgery, including feelings of sadness or what some might term ‘post-surgery blues’. Many people find that their emotional response to surgery dissipates quickly as they begin to recover and see the results of their procedure.
Some of the mixed emotions after surgery may include:
1. Doubting your decision to proceed with surgery
2. Feeling physically uncomfortable
3. Questioning the options chosen
4. Wondering about the final appearance once the swelling subsides and the incisions heal
5. Feeling anxious about the scar
6. Experiencing low energy levels or feeling down
7. Missing the usual exercise routines and daily activities that you’ve had to pause while you recuperate.
The key is to be well-informed about the recovery process without obsessing over it. It’s also helpful to lean on those who understood your reasons for choosing surgery.
Feeling emotional after a major operation, particularly one that’s elective, is quite common. You’re not alone in these feelings, and there are resources and support available at our clinic to help you navigate this post-operative emotional landscape.
