Diet:
- Start with regular diet high in protein and low in sodium as tolerated.
Medications:
- Have your prescriptions filled BEFORE surgery and bring them with you the day of surgery.
- Take all medication as directed with plenty of water starting the day of surgery.
- Use pain medication as needed for pain and discomfort. DO NOT DRIVE WHILE TAKING PRESCRIPTION PAIN MEDICATION.
Activity/Wound Care:
- Keep back elevated on 2-3 pillows behind your back and 1-2 pillows under your knees or rest in a recliner for the first week. This will minimize swelling and improve recovery comfort. Do not lay flat.
- The day after surgery, it is okay to remove the surgical garment and any gauze pads to take a shower. Leave the brown episeals on. After showering, pat dry and replace surgical garment, with additional padding, if needed.
- JP drains, if applicable, can be suspended on a lanyard or shoelace while showering. This will prevent them swinging free.
- Monitor and record drain output on sheet provided. Bring this sheet to all post-operative appointments.
- Do not remove brown episeals. All sutures are under the skin and dissolvable. The strips will be removed by Dr. Church or his staff.
- No lotion or ointment to surgical incision areas for two weeks, unless instructed otherwise
- Do not submerge in a bathtub or pool for 6 weeks after surgery.
- Do not lift >10 pounds or increase heart rate for 2 weeks after surgery.

TESTIMONIALS
Leslye is amazing! I have been seeing her over a year and a half for injectables. She is fantastic at sharing information and asking for my input and feedback. I’m very happy with the services I receive from Leslye and at La Belle Vie!
Love this young lady! Fabulous! She is excellent! Tender to the touch and knows exactly what you need. Does not overdo!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Church and La Belle Vie for my breast augmentation. After waiting many years to take the leap, I did my research and decided to make a consultation. From the first day I met Dr. Church, I knew he was the perfect doctor to trust such a personal procedure with. He and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient when I explain some of my anxieties and questions regarding the surgery. I feel, nowadays, it is so common to feel like doctors don't always do a good job listening or they're trying to rush through your appointment, but at La Belle Vie, they truly make you feel important, cared for and respected. Doctor Church and his staff did an incredible job helping me decide sizing, placement, etc. when I wasn't completely sure what was best for me. The procedure went absolutely perfectly, and Doctor Church called precisely at the time he promised that night to check on how I was feeling. I actually healed from my surgery in a much quicker time than they told me to expect I would, and I truly believe a lot of that has to do with Dr. Church's skill level, attention to detail, and high standard of cleanliness he upholds in his office. I may be biased in saying this, but I truly believe that I must've received the BEST set of boobs he's ever placed, because they are literally perfect. They look natural, the size fits my small frame incredibly, and I can't even begin to describe how much confidence this surgery has given me. I highly recommend La Belle Vie Plastic Surgery and am incredibly thankful to all on staff for such a wonderful, life changing experience. You rock!
Leslye is amazing, she’s got an artistic eye and is wonderful at what she does. I was so happy to find her for injections, she knows how to work with you and listen, and makes great suggestions. She’s passionate about what she does and it shows. Thank you!
Leslye was amazing!!! My lips are still slightly swollen since it’s only been three days but I can tell that the shape and size of my lips are exactly what I wanted. A total difference from the previous time I received filler and got duck lips as a result. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and very skilled. Listened to what I wanted and provided!
Dr. Church and the nursing staff were all incredible, attentive, and welcoming. Dr. Church was recommended to me by an acquaintance for a breast reduction. I came in for a consultation and immediately felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone I met. Pricing and scheduling are very reasonable and accommodating as well. Surgery day and post op all went very smoothly and I never felt like an inconvenience with all my questions or concerns. I highly recommend for any cosmetic treatments.
