Livflorence Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Going through the post surgery can be really painful and uncomfortable. What I have gathered below are the things to bring Alcohol swabs Straws for drinking Lozenges Arnica gel and tables Loose clothes Mask Hats Pumpkin soup Aloe Vera juice What’s else is required for pre and post surgery?
Wondermuffin Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Pain medication(extra strength, I found the ones given by the Korean Clinic not strong enough), ear plugs (if you are in an Airbnb), download movies on ipad, portable xiaomi charger
Livflorence Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 Are we able to get pain killer via the hospital counter?
Wondermuffin Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Mine was prescribed, but I didn’t find it strong enough. For me, it was easier and cheaper to just go to my local pharmacy in my country, and grab the extra strength rapid pain killers. Or see the doctor if your place of employment pays for doctor visits.
hhaleey Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Hi. I don't know which surgery you will gonna get but sometimes doctors recommend not to use a straw. Also the clinic will give you a mask so you don't need to prepare it. I heard pumpkin juice is better than soup. I bought the juice in the pharmacy under the clinic when I got surgery. And about the painkiller, the clinic where I went, they gave it.
Livflorence Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 What kind of pain killers do you recommend?
Livflorence Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 Thank you! I am doing FC! Oh oh do they sell juices there as well? Or there any other soups we can take?
fortunecat Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Hi! You can consider those type of replacement meal for your nutritional needs during your surgery. When i had my 3 wisdom teeth extraction, i drank Ensure Milk during that 2 weeks as i am unable to chew at all. Ensure Milk is available in my home country where it is also used for tube feeding. You can dissolve the milk powder using room temperature water. You can consider getting similar products to meet your daily nutritional needs during your surgery.
karema Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 There were Pumpkin juice sales on Pharmacy for disswelling. Someone told me that Pineapple juice helps alot for disswelling too! Warm socks! if you do lipo or fat grafting then might need to remove your all hairs.
Livflorence Posted September 4, 2018 Author Posted September 4, 2018 What are the pain killers do you recommend?
karema Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Tylenol or the pain killers prescribed by clinics?
watermelon09 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I think neck pillow also needed if you are foreigners. It will help you sleep in planes. I heard pineapple juice also helps de-swelling, you can buy bromelain pills from iHerb. It has the same ingredients that help de-swelling. Pineapple juice is expensive and hard to find in Korea.
Livflorence Posted September 8, 2018 Author Posted September 8, 2018 Oh yes! I read about pineapple juice too!! Should grab both! Purchased the pills from iherb and arnicare too!
hhaleey Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I saw pumpkin juice in pharmacy! And the clinic where I did they gave me a rice soup for one time. After that I bought soups at Bon soup(?)(the name was Bon Juk) or convenient stores.
Livflorence Posted September 13, 2018 Author Posted September 13, 2018 Thank you! Was wondering if there’s sodium inside the soup as it will cause water retention hence the swelling
