What to Expect During Your First 72 Hours After Surgery: The Aura’ CareHaus Experience

By Aura’ CareHaus

The first 72 hours after cosmetic surgery are the most critical—and often the most overwhelming. Your body is sore, emotions may fluctuate, and your comfort level depends on how well you’ve prepared.

At Aura’ CareHaus, we specialize in turning those first few days into a calm, curated experience that sets the tone for a smooth, confident recovery.

Here’s what you can expect during the first 3 days with us by your side:

DAY 1: The Gentle Transition

After surgery, you’re transported to your home, suite, or recovery space where our caregiver is already waiting.We’ll help you settle in, monitor vitals, manage medication timing, change garments, and most importantly—help you rest. Our post-op specialists are trained to notice the small things that matter.

💜 Highlights:

• Mobility support (in and out of bed, bathroom help, etc.)

• Meal prep or delivery of easy-to-digest anti-inflammatory foods

• First lymphatic drainage massage (if cleared by your surgeon)

• Emotional reassurance & personalized check-ins

DAY 2: Detox + Drainage

This is often when swelling and stiffness intensify. Our licensed therapists provide lymphatic massage using gentle, rhythmic techniques to reduce fluid buildup, ease discomfort, and promote healing.

We also check your garments for fit, apply any post-op tools (like foam boards or compression socks), and keep your space clean, calm, and healing-focused.

💧 We love incorporating:

• Herbal teas

• Light stretching (with clearance)

• Mood-lifting music and aromatherapy for the senses

DAY 3: Your Healing Routine Begins

By now, your recovery rhythm is in place—and so are we. You’ll begin building daily wellness habits around movement, hydration, and mindful rest. If you're staying with us for continued care, we adjust your treatment schedule to match your body’s healing process.

🎯 Goals for Day 3:

• Encourage circulation

• Continue with daily massage sessions

• Monitor any areas of concern (we document and alert your surgeon if needed)

• Support your emotional health—because healing is physical and mental

✨ At Aura’ CareHaus, your recovery doesn’t just happen. We curate it.

You didn’t go through surgery just to “get by”—you deserve to recover beautifully. Let us elevate your journey with the gold-standard care your body deserves.
