About me🗝

When I booked my first cosmetic procedure, I thought I was fully prepared research done, surgeon selected, and recovery plans in place. But no one warned me about what really happens when you wake up from anesthesia.

The nerves are out of control, your body feels like it’s trying to catch up with what just happened. The shaking, the sensitivity, and the emotional rollercoaster can surprise even the most confident patient. And the recovery? It’s not just a few days of rest. Healing takes time, patience, and real support far longer than the “quick recovery” some clinics advertise.

In this space, as a social scientist, I’ll share the truth about what my body actually went through, and how to prepare mentally and physically for the healing process that follows.
