POST-COSMETIC SURGERY REMINDERSPresented by The Surgihub

After your cosmetic surgery, there will be some

swelling and twinges for a couple of weeks

depending on the type of operation you have

undergone. Your body will go through healing

process and you must take care of it so you can

achieve your most desired results.

Check out these dos

and don’ts after your

cosmetic surgery!

DOS AFTER SURGERY

Eat plenty of food rich with vitamins and minerals.

Add fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily meals.

These will help your body to regenerate energy and

heal fast.

Not only that. Citrus fruits are rich with Vitamin C. But it’s not always oranges and lemons that are rich source of Vitamin C. Kiwi and strawberries can also give boost of strength to your immune system and help your scar heal quickly.

One the other hand, almonds also

provide Vitamin E for your skin which

helps the surgery marks to be

seamless.

Drink lots of water.

Remember that

water is life. Stay

hydrated to keep all

your system

functioning well.

DON’TS AFTER SURGERY

Stop your vices even for the meantime. Don’t smoke or drink after your surgery especially for women who had breast augmentation. It can harm the implants and slow your recovery.

Don’t push yourself to work immediately.

Take your time to rest and recuperate.

Pushing yourself to work can harm your

recovering body. Keep in mind that it takes

awhile for the body to heal after surgery.

Avoid traveling. Some airlines halt patients to fly for a couple of weeks after major surgery. If there’s a need to travel, make sure that there’s enough facility on board more than just first aid kit.

If you don’t have the appetite, you can take soups

or juices for the meantime. But, if your stomach is

completely fine, you can continue your usual diet

right away.

Don’t hesitate to ask. If you

have any question, feel free to

ask your doctor. Even it’s a

simple ‘what if’ will keep you

from hesitations. Your doctor

surely knows how to deal with

your questions.
