Controlling compression to reduce and swelling and bruising will not only reduce discomfort during the critical initial few weeks, but promote a tight contoured jawline, and support adherence of previously sagging skin. Diligent post-operative care is mandatory for spectacular results. Do your part. It is imperative!
Included in the Face Lift/Neck Lipo Recovery Box:
Neck Compression Garment
Must be worn for 2 weeks, 24/7, and it is strongly recommended for 3 months at night while sleeping. This garment will reduce swelling and bruising, and facilitate better adherence of the skin, and a more chiseled look.
Arnica Gel
This has been shown anecdotally, to reduce pain, bruising, and swelling. Arnica Gel can be used in any are but incision sites, or where the integrity of the skin has been compromised.
Scar Gel
Scar care effective in promoting normal healing, and to lower the risk of abnormal scar formation. This should be used once the incision is well healed (usually 2-3 weeks after surgery) for a minimum of 3 months, or at the discretion of your physician.
ABD Pad
This soft gauze/pad is placed under the neck compression garment to act as padding, and to provide more focused compression.
