How long do I need to stay in New York after surgery?

The Detail Behind the Answer

The purpose of the local stay is not comfort but access. The complications that matter, haematoma after facelift and seroma or wound problems after body surgery, present in the first days, and their management is far simpler if the operating surgeon can see the patient the same day.

For patients travelling in, the practical arrangement is accommodation within a short distance of the office rather than at a distance requiring a car each time. Lenox Hill Hospital at 100 East 77th Street and the office at 1035 Park Avenue, Suite E are five blocks apart, so a stay in the East 70s covers both.

For facial surgery, plan to remain within reach of the office for seven to ten days, covering the first dressing change, drain removal if used, and suture removal. Body procedures such as abdominoplasty commonly require ten to fourteen days locally because of drains and the risk window for venous thromboembolism.
