Benefits of NurseRegistry
1. Compassionate Nursing Care
We are committed to providing clients with premier home recovery care. In fact, we intentionally do not staff CNAs, general caregivers, techs, or other medical professionals.
Our comprehensive service guarantees that your recovery needs are expertly handled, filling a key gap that caretakers alone cannot cover.
2. Unmatched Privacy and Discretion
We understand that your plastic surgery journey is deeply personal. Every aspect of your care and our relationship is kept strictly confidential and HIPAA compliant. We offer NDAs upon request, and your nurse will maintain the highest levels of patient privacy and discretion.
3. Highly Specialized Care
Your recovery nurse is not just a general caregiver—they’re specifically experienced in plastic surgery recovery. They understand the unique challenges of cosmetic procedures, from managing complex drain systems to recognizing subtle signs of complications. This specialized knowledge is invaluable for achieving the best possible results from your investment.
4. Seamless and Convenient Care
While medical expertise is our foundation, we believe your recovery should feel pampered, not clinical. We eliminate the stress associated with cosmetic surgery aftercare, and your nurse conveniently travels to you—whether you’re recovering at home, in a hotel, or at an Airbnb. We handle the details so you can focus entirely on rest and healing.
5. Flexible, Personalized Care Plans
Your recovery doesn’t follow a standard schedule, and neither should your nursing care. NurseRegistry offers complete flexibility in scheduling—from a few hours of daily check-ins to around-the-clock care. Insurance restrictions don’t apply, and our private pay model allows you to receive exactly the level of care you need.
6. 24/7 Nurse Availability and Support
Complications don’t wait for business hours, which is why our nurses are available around the clock.

Plastic Surgery Recovery Services
Wound Care and Incision Management
Your nurse will be an expert in advanced wound care techniques specifically designed for cosmetic surgery sites.
They monitor your incisions for proper healing, change dressings according to your surgeon’s protocols, and immediately identify any signs of concern.
Proper wound management is crucial for achieving the beautiful results you invested in while preventing infections and minimizing scarring.
Surgical Drain Care and Monitoring
Many plastic surgery procedures require drains to remove excess fluid and reduce swelling.
Your nurse will empty and measure drain output 3-4 times daily, maintain proper compression, and keep detailed records for your surgeon.
They ensure drains remain secure and functioning properly, which is essential for optimal healing and reducing the risk of complications like hematomas.
Infection Monitoring and Prevention
Your body is most vulnerable to infections immediately following surgery, making professional monitoring essential. Nurses can expertly detect early warning signs like unusual redness, swelling, discharge, or changes in pain patterns.
Their vigilant observation and immediate response capabilities significantly reduce your risk of complications and potential hospital readmission.
Medication Management and Pain Control
Managing multiple medications—pain relievers, antibiotics, anti-nausea medications—can be confusing and overwhelming during recovery.
Your nurse organizes your medication schedule, ensures proper dosages at correct times, and monitors your response to pain management protocols.
They also watch for side effects and can advocate for adjustments with your surgeon when needed.
IV Hydration and Nutritional Support
Proper hydration and nutrition are crucial for healing and achieving optimal results from your procedure. Some patients benefit from IV hydration therapy to maintain fluid balance and support the healing process.
Your nurse can administer IV fluids when prescribed and ensure you’re maintaining adequate nutrition during your recovery period.
Mobility Assistance and Transportation
Getting up, moving safely, and performing daily activities can be challenging after cosmetic surgery, especially procedures involving the abdomen, chest, or face. Your nurse provides safe assistance with walking, transferring, and using the bathroom while respecting your surgical restrictions.
They help prevent falls and re-injury while encouraging appropriate movement to promote circulation and healing.
Additionally, getting to follow-up appointments safely is crucial for monitoring your progress and ensuring optimal results. Your nurse can arrange and accompany you to post-operative visits, helping you understand discharge instructions and ensuring you don’t miss important details.
