Included in the Thigh Lift Recovery Box:
Compression Girdle (to mid-calf)
This faja will be placed on you just after your surgery while you are still asleep. This garment is worn for the first 6 weeks after surgery. Its primary goal is to prevent swelling, bleeding and excessive bruising. This garment provides compressions (light, not excessive), and should be removed during the day, only at physicians orders. Wearing a cotton t-shirt next to your skin may help to maximize comfort. Wearing this will also reduce tension on incision lines to minimize risk of abnormal scarring.
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.
Scar Dressing
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.
Absorbent Pads (Qty 3)
First 24-48 hours after surgery (especially when liposuction is performed), expect to have copious amounts of drainage. This fluid is very watery, red and may look like bleeding, but is absolutely normal. These absorbent pads help to absorb the leaking fluid. We provide you with 3 packages, which should be sufficient to absorb all of the fluid we expect to drain out.
