What this site is for

It exists for one purpose: to let someone who has had an operation tell whether what they are feeling after training is ordinary, and to know when it needs care. That is why the emergency routing sits above every explanation on this page, and why the same findings are repeated in the decision asset rather than stated once.

What it deliberately does not do

It does not name products or device brands. It does not quote prices or doses, because a dose is a clinical decision rather than patient information. It does not suggest that a corrective operation returns the area to the state it was in before, or that a result that has been displaced can always be put back. It publishes no emergency telephone number, room number or opening hours of its own.

The facts kept visible

Four facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. Walking on the day of the operation is part of recovery, and prolonged stillness carries its own risks. An ache that arrives after a new activity and settles by the next morning is the usual pattern. The limit is set by the operation rather than by a general rule about surgery. And contact sport and swimming return last, because impact and immersion carry risks that other training does not.

How the content is reviewed and corrected

Tongchun Mao, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery, is the responsible physician. Every guide is reviewed against his clinical judgement before publication and reviewed again on a six-month cycle. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and corrections are made to the page itself.
