How to Speed Up Your Plastic Surgery Recovery

0

Dr. Guerra’s recommendations to speed up your recovery.

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Review, Dr. Guerra discusses his recommendations to speed up your recovery for your plastic surgery in Scottsdale. He starts off the discussion by emphasizing the importance of following the post surgery recovery instructions that patients receive at the pre-operative appointment. In addition, he talks about making sure that patients walk, drink plenty of fluids and to do the breathing exercises. Dr. Guerra finishes the discussion by recommending that patients make it to all of their post-surgery appointments.

Muscle Work Considered Standard.

0

Scottsdale – I recently mentioned another option for tummy tuck surgery which does not include the traditional approach to muscle tightening. These types of plastic surgery operations have been around for a long time, but recently have developed more hype.

When a woman or man desires abdominal skin tightening and they have no muscle weakness or “pooch”, then the person will likely be a good candidate for a tummy tuck without any muscle tightening. The benefits include:

  • A faster recovery.
  • Less pain.
  • A quicker return to work and other physical activities.

However, if the individual does not have the right physique or the right anatomy and no muscle work is carried out, then the results of the surgery will be less than optimal. The likely result will have an improvement in the skin tightness and a smoother tummy, but the “pooch” will persist!

I recommend a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon who can tell you if you are a good candidate for tummy tuck without muscle work. Currently, tummy tuck with muscle work is considered to be the standard for most women after gestation. If tummy muscle work is needed we recommend a ON-Q PainBuster® pain-reducing pump which can be introduced at the time of surgery to reduce pain and improve the recovery time.

No Muscle Tummy Tucks Growing in Popularity?

0

Scottsdale – Recently, I have seen on several news and media sites reports involving tummy tuck surgery with a faster recovery than normal. This is carried out, most often, when the tummy tuck operation is carried out without any muscle work.

Of course, it is possible to perform your tummy tuck without any muscle work and this can lead to less pain and a faster recovery. The question is, are the benefits and side effects of changing the procedure in this manner worth it for each individual patient?

Recently, the Smooth Tuckwas introduced by Dr. Matthew Schulman in New York City, and was featured on the popular daytime tv show, The DRs.

Many patients may clearly see the benefits of a faster recovery and less pain when the muscles are not tightened. This is not going to work for everyone. If your muscles are weak and you have developed a “pooch” because of this anatomic situation, a procedure like a smooth tummy tuck – may not give you the breast results.

I recommend you carefully consider muscle versus no muscle work and do your research! We must all weight the benefits and potential risks of any surgery, but especially cosmetic plastic surgery.

Weight Loss and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

0

It’s important to be at a healthy BMI prior to surgery.

When patients are considering cosmetic plastic surgery we highly recommend that they get to a healthy weight in order to get the best result and lower the risks of surgery. BMI over 30 indicates obesity and there are higher risks associated with a BMI in excess of 30. To get the best result and lower your risks of complications we recommend all patients make it a goal to get their BMI under 30.
