Body Contouring Surgery Recovery
Indianapolis, Indiana
Following any cosmetic surgical procedure, invasive or non-invasive, it is very important to follow Dr. Linderman’s post-procedure instructions to ensure a speedy recovery free from complications. You can trust board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Linderman of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Indiana, to guide you through the recovery process and make sure you are in tip-top shape and ready to resume your normal activities when recovery is complete.
Body contouring is a field of cosmetic surgery that improves the overall figure through the use of various surgical and non-surgical techniques such as breast enhancement, breast augmentation, liposuction, abdominoplasty, thigh lifts, and body lifts. We all have the goal of a well-proportioned, physically fit body. However, achieving this is much easier said than done. Many of us have problem areas that simply do not respond to diet and exercise. For these difficult parts of the body, Dr. Linderman offers body contouring to achieve the body you have always dreamed of having.
The following suggestions will help you recover as quickly as possible and will minimize your chances of complications following body contouring procedures:
Have the right mental attitude regarding expectations of surgery. Your goal should be improvement, not perfection.
Take care of all errands and chores prior to going in for surgery as after surgery, you are not to perform any household chores.
Make sure you have all prescriptions filled and ready.
Have plenty of loose fitting, comfortable clothing clean and ready to wear.
Check with Dr. Linderman regarding taking vitamins or other nutritional supplements or OTC pain meds.
Do not submerge incisions in water. Dr. Linderman may say it’s ok to shower but sitting in a tub is not recommended.
Be aware of signs of infection. Dr. Linderman will discuss these with you. At the first sign of infection, contact the office immediately.
You may want to take photos of your procedure area so you can note the progress of your recovery. Small improvements are sometimes difficult to notice with the naked eye.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and juice. Avoid alcohol and caffeine while recovering.
Follow all of Dr. Linderman’s recovery directions very carefully.
Surgery is not something to be taken lightly, and following directions for recovery is crucial. If you have any questions following your procedure, please do not hesitate to contact our office to schedule an appointment or to have your concerns addressed. Dr. Linderman has been serving cosmetic surgery patients in the Indianapolis area for almost three decades.
