Skin Therapist Ilenia’s Tips for Pre and Post Operative Care

Cosmetic Surgery Preparation and Recovery

Guardian Angels of Cosmetic Surgery

As senior therapist at Karpati Skin Clinic I have observed how in recent decades the interest in undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure has gradually increased and so the concern for the pre-operative and post-operative periods.  Most major cosmetic surgery procedure involve bruising, swelling and some pain which represents the main concern for many people. Not matter how satisfying is the outcome, often the recovery time is a source of such a distress that makes client regret the procedure, at least until finally the area treated begin to heal.

This lead me to thinking about at all the possible resources that could help minimize the discomfort and assist my clients through this difficult time.

I began to apply these techniques and witnessed how the final outcome in cosmetic and plastic surgery is not depending only on surgical planning, but also on preoperative and postoperative care.

The combination of Intense High Frequency Ultrasound, LED (light emitting diode) Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Endermologie® can accelerate the healing process and reduce ‘downtime’ by almost half. These treatments are of paramount importance in minimizing bruising, swelling and incision tightness, while accelerating the recuperation of post-surgical fatigue from anesthesia. They are also soothing and relaxing and guaranteed to improve the comfort of your recovery process. Results can be immediately visible.

Let me introduce you to each of this cosmetic surgery “guardian angels”:

High Frequency Intense Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-auditory vibration that improves circulation, stimulates cell renewal, improves product penetration, and reduces redness. It will immediately promotes healing by reducing swelling and tightness around surgical incisions.

The warmth created by the vibration penetrates healing products through the skin’s surface up to 1500 times deeper than simply applying them with your hands.

7 BENEFITS OF ULTRASOUND PRE & POST COSMETIC SURGERY

1. Improves circulation
2. Increases lymphatic drainage
3. Improves skin cell nutrient absorption
4. Stimulates collagen and elasticity
5. Stimulates healthy skin cell renewal
6. Tighten connective tissue
7. Support of wound healing

LED (Light Emitting Diode) Therapy

The benefits of light therapy have been well documented over the past 20-30 years. Red Light is used by NASA to increase wound healing and grow fresh food in space. It increases the production of healthy proteins such as collagen and elastin, improves circulation and lymphatic flow and stimulates cell metabolism. Blue light reduces redness, heals wounds, and calms irritated skin. It is used by dermatologists as a powerful antiseptic. Recent studies indicate that green light reduces sun spots and evens skin tone while yellow light eliminates congestion and improves lymphatic flow.

6 BENEFITS OF LED  PRE & POST COSMETIC SURGERY

2. Reduces swelling and inflammation
3. Stimulates healthy collagen and elastin production
4. Improves sun damage
5. Kills bacteria and potential infection
6. Gives a skin a healthy, radiant and dewy appearance

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that uses gentle, sweeping motion with just enough pressure to shift the surface of the skin in order to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart.

7 BENEFITS OF MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE PRE & POST COSMETIC SURGERY

1. Reduces edema
2. Reduces fibrosis
3. Deeply relaxing
4. Decongestive (removes lymphoedema)
5. Pain Relieving
6. Improves wound healing and scarring
7. Detoxifing

Endermologie®.

It is a mechanical, non-invasive type of massage that is applied using a device that delivers intermittent suction and rolling to the skin and subcutaneous tissue and is also considered an efficient and safe method that promotes healing providing a better aesthetic result.

5 BENEFITS OF ENDERMOLOGIE PRE & POST COSMETIC SURGERY

1. Improves the body contouring
2. Reduces body circumference
3. Reduce the tissue irregularities, tissue necrosis, edema, pain and bruising
4. Increase of local blood and lymphatic flows
5. Promotes healing

A personalized plan that includes and combines these resources and techniques, is crucial as a form of early and late pre, intermediate and post operative treatment in order to prepare the tissues that will be submitted to surgery and  optimize the physical and functional recovery of the function, improve local circulation, prevent, control or minimize the possible PO complications and finally, promote well-being and quality of life.
