Have you ever seen a picture of a celebrity who recently had cosmetic surgery and in the picture their stomach is lumpy and rippled or their breasts are uneven? People may think this is a result of a bad job done by the plastic surgeon. This is not necessarily true! Oftentimes this result is not because of the doctor, but due to poor post-operative care.

Many patients don't know the right things to do after surgery to help the healing process and this could be detrimental. Without the right care after surgery, healing time may be slower and results may not look as good. With our professional guidance after surgery, we can help you heal and look the best you can.

This is where we come into the picture... Certified Cosmetic Surgery Therapists.

We specialize in plastic surgery recovery with a focus on lymphatic massage and more. At the initial visit, we perform an assessment and determine a plan of care.  The techniques we perform will focus on edema reduction (swelling), increasing range of motion, decreasing pain, increasing sensation and circulation, reducing bruising and scar tissue, and ultimately maximizing your results and appearance.  In addition, we teach you how to prevent complications and take recovery into your own hands, with detailed exercises and education.

Like any surgery, the decision to have plastic surgery should be made with serious consideration and not entered into lightly. The choice to have plastic surgery is a personal one that will have a significant impact on one’s life and wallet. In today’s economy, people want the highest quality for their money spent. Good post-operative care is necessary to get the best result from the surgery. With this, you are empowered to be confident about one of the most important decisions of your life.
