POST OP RECOVERY

Post Op Recovery Houston, Texas

Dr. Sharon Aesthetics offers comprehensive personalized post operative care services in Houston, Texas. There’s only so much postoperative instructions one can follow on their own and we all know the classic, stay out of water and avoid physical activity conversation. However, when it comes to postoperative wood therapy massages or drain removal, it’s nice to sit back, relax and let the professionals do their work. After a cosmetic surgery, it can be pivotal to have that extended assistance and guidance to guarantee premium postoperative quality. If you have a cosmetic surgery coming up or have already had one, it is essential to understand that the importance of post-op care is almost as crucial as the surgery itself.

Most surgical patients heal around six weeks after surgery. During those weeks, specific treatments and postoperative techniques can make remarkable impacts to your surgical results. 

POST OP SERVICES

Dr. Sharon provides postoperative care for men and women who undergo surgery. Post op recovery services include:

Drain removal: Drains are used for several different procedures, for example 360 liposuction. Depending on your type of surgery, drains are typically kept in for about 3 to 5 days. Our drain care includes cleaning the drain site and the skin around it with soap and water using gauze or a cotton swab. When the site is dry, new dressing is applied.

Stitch Removal: Stitch removal is determined by how well the area has healed and the extent of the surgery.

Wound management: Wounds are cared for with proper dressing and pain medicine to reduce the risk of infection. An untreated or improperly treated wound can have trouble healing or heal slower. At Dr. Sharon Aesthetic Medicine, we watch wounds closely and use techniques to promote the healing process and avoid future complications.

Post Op recovery massage: A postoperative massage is a gentle massage technique that increases blood flow and helps promote recovery by targeting the lymphatic system. This system is responsible for processing waste and absorbing fluids and after surgery, these liquids can harden which can be painful. This massage helps to break down those hardened elements to help ease postoperative discomforts.

Post Op recovery massage and cavitation: To help further contour your body, a handheld radio frequency machine performs an ultrasonic cavitation that can be very effective in perfecting results. This method helps to smooth, tone and tighten skin after liposuction procedures may leave loose skin and lumpiness. Patients generally see an immediate change after the first session with ultimate results after 4 to 8 sessions.
