Why do you need a surgery box?

Any aesthetic procedure does not begin or end in the operating room. Pre and post-surgical care + getting the right utensils is of vital importance. 

What is a surgery box? 

It is a word that has been adopted in the plastic surgeries world to refer to a list of utensils that together form a "package" for essential patients care. A surgery box in addition to supplying you with what you need, avoids the stress of buying all these items and paying extra pounds at the airport (if you are an international patient).
