The Importance and Key Stages of Aftercare in Plastic Surgery
Aftercare is an extremely important process in health tourism and especially in the field of plastic surgery. These services are necessary for the success of the operation as well as for the patient to enter a healthy recovery process. Some of the main topics and contents to be considered in the post-treatment care process can be as follows:
First Days After Surgery
- First Observation and Controls: The first few days after surgery is a critical period during which the surgeon and the healthcare team should closely monitor the patient. During this period when swelling, bruising and pain are normal, doctors evaluate the patient's condition and make the necessary interventions.
- Length of Hospital Stay: Depending on the size of the surgery, some patients may stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. During this period, doctors check the drainage tubes and monitor the general health status of the patient. When it is decided to discharge the patient, he/she goes to his/her hotel by private vehicle.
Pain Management and Medication
- Painkillers and Antibiotics: Medications prescribed to patients in the postoperative period include painkillers and antibiotics to prevent infection. Regular use of these medications helps to manage pain and reduce the risk of infection.
- Regular Medication Use: It is very important that patients use the medications prescribed after treatment regularly and correctly. In this process, patients and their relatives will be informed by the nurse how and how often to use the medications.
Drainage and Suture Care
- Care of Drainage Tubes: Drainage tubes may be placed in some patients after plastic surgery. These tubes need to be checked and cleaned regularly. When to remove the drainage tubes depends on the surgeon's assessment. Accordingly, drains are removed at the hotel.
- Follow-up of Stitches: Hygiene and regular control are important to prevent infection of the sutures. The general situation is reported to the doctor with the daily hotel follow-up by the Aftercare nurse. The sutures are usually removed at the clinic on the dates specified by the surgeon.
Physical Recovery Process
- Reduction of Swelling and Bruising: Postoperative swelling and bruises decrease over time. Cold compress applications provide relief in this process. Patients should avoid physical activities for the period specified by the surgeon. For bruising, you will be given appropriate creams at the hotel.
- Supportive Clothing and Bandages: Patients may need to wear supportive garments after operations such as liposuction, tummy tuck or breast aesthetics. These garments keep the body tight, reduce swelling and help the skin to heal properly.
Nutrition and Hydration
- Proper Nutrition: A balanced and protein-rich diet is recommended to speed up the healing process. Vitamin and mineral supplements can help the tissues heal faster. A suitable diet list will be created and given to you. Water consumption is very important in the healing process. Maintaining the moisture balance of the body allows swelling and bruising to decrease faster.
- Patience of the Patient: It is important for the patient to understand that the healing process takes time and the results will not be visible immediately.
Exercise and Movement
Light Walks Light walks are recommended in the first weeks after surgery. This contributes to the healing process by increasing blood circulation.
- Avoiding Heavy Exercises: Intense physical activities should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
Follow-up Appointments
- Regular Check-ups: Surgical controls are performed at regular intervals after surgery. These follow-up appointments are important to observe whether the recovery is progressing correctly. When you return to your country, the aftercare nurse will ask you for photos at certain intervals and evaluate them with the doctor. Thus, you will be provided with nurse support that you can talk to 24/7 when you return to your country.
FAQS
Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your belly, sides and back caused by liposuction surgery. A massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.
Stimulates blood circulation and tissue regeneration, directs and increases lymphatic flow, promoting faster removal of excess interstitial fluid. Reduces swelling and water retention, improves the immune system due to the important elimination of toxins, minimizes the appearance of cellulite, promotes body and mental relaxation, provides an overall lightness in the body, energizes the body.
Doctors advise 7 to 10 massages in a 2-week period. It is better to have these massages every other day. However, it depends on the body liquid after the operation. You may need more.
Massage can be started 1 day after discharge from hospital. However, it also depends on the doctor. If the patient doesn't have drains, they can start after hospital discharge. If drains are present, they need to wait until drain removal.
We usually open the drain holes to remove collected fluid. Otherwise, we believe healing takes longer because of fluid collection inside. We use sterilized syringes to open them. However, if the patient's doctor advises keeping the holes closed, we respect that and just perform the massage.
Not really. Due to body numbness after liposuction, you won't feel much pain. We perform the massage gently, aiming to minimize discomfort.
Absolutely! In addition to lymphatic massages, the use of garments helps shape the body. Regular massages positively impact body curves.
