After tummy tuck, the time to return home and when resuming activities such as walking up stairs may differ greatly from one individual to another. Usually patients are advised not to engage in heavy physical activities such as climbing stairs within the first weeks following surgery for proper healing. Surgeons usually tell patients to wait for the necessary strength, mobility and clearance during their follow-ups. Following the specific post-operative instructions given by your surgeon is critical, and you should resume each activity slowly as guided by their recommendations. Recovery experiences can vary from one person to the other, and that is why you should seek advice – especially from your surgeon ```

I'm 18 and just had a septoplasty surgery two days ago and I'm struggling to manage the pain but I also have some questions about the splints placed inside my nose

Female | 18

It is common to have pain following septoplasty. The splints inside your nose are meant to support the healing process. Due to them, you might feel discomfort, pressure, or blocked-up sensation but do not try touching or removing them all the same. Follow the doctor’s advice for managing the pain and keeping the nose clean. In case of any concerns, do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Hi. I am 46 years old mother of 2 children aged 13 and 4yrs. In September 2021 I got liposuction and tummy tuck done. After 6 weeks of wearing the prescribed compression garments and daily massages post surgery, I started noticing big, hard eruptions on my stomach area. Some are red and some are very painful. The doctor punctured one of the eruptions to see if any fluid came out but it did not. He then ask me to use Tbac and put me on anti inflammatory medicine+ flexon. Then one day from the eruption i noticed a pus like fluid. Went to the doctor again. A pus culture was done. No bacteria found. Doctor said looks like it is a suture issue with my body not being able to get rid of the dissolvable stitches. He gave me tricort injections on the hard lumps. Now almost 3 weeks later, some are better but new large and painful ones have also formed. Please advise your thoughts on this and what you feel could be wrong. I am very worried.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

Taping nose 6 months after rhinoplasty, is it required?

Female | 32

Taping the nose six months after rhinoplasty is not typically necessary, as the majority of the swelling and healing process should have already taken place by that point. However, it's important to consult with your surgeon for specific guidance based on your individual circumstances.

 

In the early stages of rhinoplasty recovery, taping may be used to help support and shape the nose. It is often applied immediately after surgery and worn for a specific period of time as directed by the surgeon. However, after six months, the nose should have largely settled into its final shape.

 

If you have concerns about the appearance or shape of your nose at the six-month mark, it's best to reach out to your surgeon for a follow-up consultation. They will be able to assess your progress, evaluate any residual swelling, and provide guidance on whether any further interventions, including taping, are necessary.

 

It's important to follow your surgeon's recommendations closely, as they will have a comprehensive understanding of your unique case and can provide the most appropriate advice for your specific situation.

How to sleep after tummy tuck and bbl?

Male | 44

Sleep on your back after a tummy tuck and BBL with pillows for easier comfort. Do not sleep on the stomach to avoid stretching treated areas. Elevate your whole upper body to decrease the swelling using a wedge pillow or other adjustments. Adhere to the individual sleep recommendations given by your surgeon for a thorough and secure recovery. Pay attention to your body’s signs and contact with a surgeon when needed.
