During the immediate post surgical recovery period many people feel anxiety over the recovery time and guilty about focusing on themselves rather than their family and/or other dependants. It is important to remember you (as the patient) spent most of your adult life taking care of other people and you are not used to taking significant time for yourself. The entire process is foreign and places you in uncharted waters. Take heart in the fact you chose a procedure with your surgeon that is safe with relative little risk. You will be there for your friends and family, more confident and happy about yourself, and therefore even more productive. Don’t feel selfish about the time. You deserve it!

I have had countless occasions where patients have been happy with the results but then become sad wishing they had the procedure performed sooner in their life. I always try to point out that there were other important events going on in their lives that required attention. Whether we realize it or not we are constantly prioritizing tasks,events, needs and desires in our life. In the final analysis events take place in the order that they generally should. So don’t worry; you are taking care of yourself when you should.
