                            Frequently Asked Questions After my Plastic Surgery: 

 

       WHEN DO I WEAR MY GIRDLE?

The girdle must be placed in case of liposuction the day after surgery, in case of abdominoplasty after the drain has been removed. In case the patient's skin has any condition, it will be placed when indicated by the doctor.  

      

 

    HOW LONG SHOULD I USE THE GIRDLE?

According to the doctor's recommendations, you should use the girdle for 3 months, since the edema or fluid accumulation lasts between 8 and 12 weeks.

 

    ¿ HOW TIGHT SHOULD THE GIRDLE BE?

The first 2 weeks the girdle should be loose and gradually tighten it.

 

     WHEN IS THE NEXT APPOINTMENT AFTER SURGERY?

The next appointment is 7 days after surgery, or as indicated by the doctor.

 

     WHEN DO I START THE MASSAGE CYCLE?

Massages can begin the day after surgery, both in the case of liposuction and in the case of abdominoplasty.

 

         HOW MANY MASSAGES SHOULD BE DONE?

A cycle of at least 10 massages is recommended, which consists of lymphatic drainage and ultrasound therapy.

 

WHY SHOULD YOU GET MASSAGES?

  • Avoid chances of lumps or fibrosis
  • Adheres skin faster to underlying muscle tissue.
  • Reduces discomfort.
  • Speeds up recovery.

     IN CASE OF RHINOPLASTY, HOW SHOULD I MASSAGE MYSELF? 

ONLY, according to your doctor's instructions.

 

WHEN CAN I SHOWER?

Shower bathing is allowed in case of liposuction after 6-7 days, and in case of abdominoplasty the drain must be removed.

In case of abdominoplasty, if the wound is closed, bathing with purified water is permitted; if the wound is still open, consult your doctor for instructions.
