Knowing what to expect during recovery makes all the difference. The truth is, those final results you’re after can take weeks, months, or even longer to really be final.
San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar breaks it down, from why swelling happens, to the importance of lymphatic drainage, compression garments, drains, and why getting up and moving after surgery is more important than you might think.
He also covers what you shouldn’t do while healing, like drinking, smoking, sunbathing, or hitting the gym too soon, and how meds help manage discomfort and inflammation.
Thinking about traveling for your procedure? There’s extra planning involved, and Dr. Salazar shares what you need to know to keep your recovery on track and drama-free.
