However, a smooth, healthy recovery period is also crucial to proper healing for outstanding results. The added comfort and relief of recovery therapies can make an incredible difference in how your healing process goes. Compression therapy, IV therapy, and massage therapy can all provide a better, more comfortable experience for your post plastic surgery recuperation.
Whatever your preference, we can connect you to the holistic care you need to achieve your most stunning aesthetic results. Our compression, massage, and IV therapies are all offered at our luxury facility or on-site at your location.
Every procedure is unique, and the rest and recuperation guidelines are also specific to the surgery. Recovery therapies, including IV therapy, compression therapy, and massage, can contribute to healing and your overall physical and mental well-being after plastic surgery. Whether you’ve had a facelift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or another procedure, recovery therapies can help make your experience after surgery as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Compression therapy can improve blood flow using specialized, strategically placed bands and garments, which helps pain management and muscle spasms, and reduces swelling and inflammation.
Receiving compression therapy both before and after surgery can help avoid complications like blood clots post-procedure. In the case of abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, and procedures where the muscle is involved, regaining normal, healthy blood flow is particularly important.
Compression therapy is a great tool for recovery after many types of plastic surgeries since inflammation and swelling are common side effects. Anyone undergoing plastic surgery where there is downtime and proper healing is important would likely be a great candidate. However, if you have any arterial diseases or circulatory issues, this may not be your best therapy choice.
During compression therapy, you will be fitted with specially-designed compression garments or equipment that will be left on your body for a period of time to encourage blood flow and the benefits that come with it. After the treatment, you can expect less swelling, reduced inflammation, and pain relief.
This treatment option hydrates the body, replaces electrolytes, and ensures enough oxygen reaches the tissues and organs. This brings the body back to homeostasis or the controlled circumstances required for good health and easier recovery. IV Vitamin Therapy can also help your muscles recover, decrease pain, boost your immune system, and fight nausea which can linger after anesthesia.
B vitamins, Vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium are among the substances that may be infused, depending on your specific needs and particular recovery goals. Anti-inflammatory substances can be added to the mix to speed up the healing process. With so many positive effects, IV Vitamin Therapy can be beneficial after virtually any plastic surgery or even other cosmetic procedures, light laser, light resurfacing, or muscle toning.
Anyone looking to improve their surgery recovery experience through better hydration and optimal vitamin intake would benefit from IV Vitamin Therapy. All of the ingredients in each of our IV therapy options are available and listed on our app in the event you might need to reference them for an allergy or other concern.
Whether you decide to receive IV Vitamin Therapy at our wellness center or your location, a highly trained therapist will help you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Our medically-trained IV therapists use safe, clean procedures and are highly professional. First, the injection area will be cleaned and topically numbed if necessary. They will then insert a needle and supply you with a premium, vitamin-infused, hydrating formula. Most treatments last about 30-60 minutes, after which there is no downtime, and you should feel rested and refreshed.
After plastic surgery, therapeutic massage can provide relaxation, better blood flow, and proper lymphatic drainage to help with healing. With a skilled massage therapist, healing can also be aided by reducing swelling and inflammation.
After certain plastic surgeries, particularly liposuction, tummy tucks, and butt lifts, tissue can become congested with extra fluid due to the surgical process. Therapeutic massage can help gently break up these areas of fluid build-up and allow for correct and effective drainage and reduced swelling. In addition, stress or tension can inhibit the healing process, so that extra relaxation can be a welcome aid to recovery. Many plastic surgeons consider post-op massage a highly beneficial option to aid healing.
Therapeutic massage is great for anyone looking to reduce inflammation and swelling after surgery, relax muscles that may have been stretched or overworked during surgery, or simply enjoy the rejuvenation that massage therapy can offer. However, if you had a procedure that resulted in heavy bruising or skin irritation, you may want to wait on receiving therapy in specific areas until those concerns have cleared up.
Before receiving Therapeutic Massage, your provider will discuss your goals and recovery needs with you. At Hydrology, our massage therapists can offer deep tissue, Swedish massage, lymphatic drainage massage, and other post-op-specific techniques. Depending on your recovery, one or more of these techniques may be utilized on different parts of the body.
