Nursing Care Services After Discharge From Plastic Surgery
Essential Support for Safe, Comfortable & Confident Recovery
After plastic surgery, proper recovery care is just as important as the surgery itself. Nursing care services after hospital discharge provide professional medical support during the most critical healing period—helping patients recover safely, comfortably, and with peace of mind.
At Bangkok Thailand Plastic Surgery Center, private nursing care is highly recommended, especially for complex procedures and gender-affirming surgeries such as MTF and FTM surgeries, where recovery requires specialized attention.

These services are designed to:

Why Is Private Nursing Care Especially Important for MTF & FTM Surgery?
Gender-affirming surgeries such as MTF (Male-to-Female) and FTM (Female-to-Male) procedures often involve more complex surgical sites, longer recovery periods, and higher physical and emotional needs.
👩⚕️ Key reasons private nursing is critical:
✔️ Complex Surgical Care
- Genital surgery, chest surgery, or combined procedures require meticulous wound care
- Higher risk of infection without proper medical supervision
✔️ Mobility Limitations
- Patients may experience difficulty walking, sitting, or standing
- A private nurse ensures safe movement and positioning
✔️ Emotional & Psychological Support
- Gender-affirming surgery is deeply personal
- Professional nursing support provides reassurance, dignity, and privacy
✔️ Medication & Catheter Management
- Accurate handling of catheters, drains, and medication schedules is essential
✔️ Safety for International Patients
- Many patients recover alone in Thailand without family support
- A private nurse acts as a trusted medical companion
Benefits of Private Nursing Care After Plastic Surgery
