Protect Your Plastic Surgery Results!

How you treat your body during and after cosmetic plastic surgery plays a crucial role in your overall outcome. In fact, many patients ask me what they can do to protect as well as prolong their plastic surgery results.

Here is some essential advice on how you can guard your outcome:

Follow my instructions. It is necessary that you follow them entirely for optimal healing results.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle. In order to protect your results and increase recovery time, you will need to adopt a standard of living that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Avoid the sun as much as possible. Scarring may take more than a year to fade completely. To help prevent any delays in recovery, make sure to apply sunscreen of at least SPF30 when you go outside to protect your skin from sun damage.

Get massages. This is a form of therapy that can help increase healing time, in addition to providing several other benefits. Massages can help circulate your blood, undo knots in your muscles, and de-stress your body and mind.  Lymphatic massages after body contour surgery speeds recovery significantly.

Protect your skin with regular cleansings using non-irritating products. Skincare is crucial when it comes to appearing youthful, clean, and healthy.  Medical grade skin care products available at my office prolong and enhance facial cosmetic surgery results.

Don’t physically overwork your body. The recovery period should be a time of relaxing and taking care of yourself. Refraining from engaging in your normal routine may be difficult, but it is important that you allow your body to recover and heal. Even when your doctor permits you to exercise, make sure you ease into it so you don’t hurt yourself or your results.

I strive to provide the best treatment possible and beautiful results for my patients.  In order to attain this goal, I educate them regarding the dos and don’ts of recovery.
