| - | Plastic surgery recovery retreatsWell worth the money if you value minimal pain | Getting ill and recovering from it can be traumatic. Being in a clinic or hospital setting can be terrifying even if you are there for a minor illness - being surrounded by patients who are in various states of suffering can compound your suffering. And cosmetic surgery is no different. | |
| While it is not possible to avoid all hospital stays - for serious illnesses, only a hospital has the staff and the equipment to take care of you, but for elective cosmetic surgery procedures, you can stay in a recovery retreat (where a nurse is available at all times and doctors are on call). And where would these recovery retreats be located? Beverly Hills and surrounding areas, of course; the area claims to have the largest concentration of cosmetic surgeons in the world. | | | What comforts can you expect? | | What are some of the major recovery centers?  - Shanteque Recovery Retreat in the Le Meridien hotel in Beverly Hills
- Prive' Recovery retreat in the W Hotel, Westwood.
- Recouvrer in Newark
- Halcyon in Marina del Rey
- Serenity in Santa Monica
- Jade Healing Retreat in The Tower-Beverly Hills Hotel
- Villa Milana Retreat in Sherman Oaks
| | What is the cost? The cost varies by hotel and the package that you select (plus, additional services may be charged as you use them), plan on spending around $500 or more each night. However, most clients find it useful to spend a few nights in a recovery retreat rather than being in a regular hotel. | |
