The innovative aesthetic center of Dr. Borodko pays special attention to this aspect, and we are ready to share with you a detailed overview of the rehabilitation process after cosmetic surgery.
Principles of postoperative rehabilitation in cosmetology
After plastic surgery is completed, the most important task is to properly restore and maintain the health of the facial skin. The postoperative rehabilitation program developed at the aesthetic center of Dr. Borodko helps with this.
Early postoperative period: the secrets of successful rehabilitation
One of the main goals of the early postoperative period is to help form a new blood and lymphatic circulation system using the so-called "bypass routes." Physiotherapy procedures such as microcurrents and magnetotherapy are used for this purpose.
Also, a low-intensity infrared laser can be prescribed for 2-4 days after surgery. Ozone therapy, quantum therapy, ultrasound, and ultrasound are added on about day 3-5. After the sutures are healed, iontophoresis and lymphatic drainage with moving electrodes can be started.
Late postoperative period: when the scar becomes invisible
Usually, scarring begins approximately 7-8 days after surgery and is most intense from the 3rd to the 8th Sunday. During this period, intensive collagen synthesis processes occur under the influence of growth factors released during the skin incision during surgery.
After about a month, the scar becomes intensely pink and more noticeable than immediately after the sutures are removed, which can cause depression in the patient. At the late postoperative stage, the task of forming an aesthetically acceptable scar and returning to the usual skin care routine is achieved.
What does the skin need after plastic surgery?
After plastic surgery, the skin needs drugs and procedures that promote the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Popular drugs used in the postoperative phase contain L-ascorbic acid. Procedures include ultrasound therapy and infrared laser. Ionophoresis with biologically active drugs injected into the skin of the face, neck, and décolleté is also popular at this stage.
Procedures that stimulate microcirculation (microcurrents, ultrasound, etc.) increase oxygen metabolism in tissues, activate metabolism, and stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Lymphatic drainage helps to improve lymphatic drainage, eliminates bags under the eyes and swelling on the face. There are also medications that promote the healing of postoperative sutures, such as solcoseryl and others.
It is important to take care of the skin with moisturizing and stimulating masks. Postoperative skin responds particularly well to algae-based masks and freeze-dried collagen masks. Acupressure massage is a very effective and incredibly delicate method of postoperative care.
Prohibitions after plastic surgery: care with restrictions
In the first month after surgery, it is important to adhere to certain restrictions and prohibitions. For example, you should avoid going to the solarium, as UV radiation, being an additional burden on the skin, can cause microedema and hyperpigmentation.
Saunas and hot showers are also not recommended, as they contribute to swelling due to vasodilation. Invasive methods of cosmetology that are accompanied by microtrauma (for example, mesotherapy) are also best postponed to a later period. Methods that involve tissue displacement (such as manual massage, myostimulation, vibration massage, and vacuum massage) should be avoided in the early postoperative period.
As a result of facial plastic surgery, every woman gets the opportunity to improve her appearance. However, it is important to remember that surgery is only the first step on the path to beauty. Competent postoperative rehabilitation at the aesthetic center of Dr. Borodko helps to preserve the beauty and health of the skin, ensuring optimal results. Remember that high-quality rehabilitation is an important step on the way to achieving perfect skin and appearance.
