After tummy tuck you are provided with a specialised medical grade garment which has to be worn for a few months. You do not need any other material. This garment helps in maintaining shape, decreasing pain, preventing fluid collection under stitch line of tummy tuck.

The time frame for wearing a waist trainer post a tummy tuck operation may differ according to an individual’s healing and advice of your surgeon. Usually patients are told to wait until they have recovered well enough from the surgery which may take several weeks. It’s important to rely on your surgeon regarding when you should return to activity such as wearing compression garments in order not too disturb the healing process. With your surgeon’s approval, a compression garment or waist trainer can give support, reduce swelling and encourage proper contouring.

What is the healing process after Plastic Surgery?

Other | 27

When the body is injured or broken the proper healing is due to the body itself making itself healthy again. There could be a slight bruising that you might experience which is, in fact, a usual condition and should wear off in time. The performance of the surgery is dependent on your cooperation with the doctor. Thus, you must abide by the directives given to a T by your doctor. It is principally of high importance to the individual to have a good portion of time devoted to rest, to the intake of foods that are of high nutritional value, and to the avoidance of physically demanding activities as recommended. If you happen to see any rare signs, or you have some doubts, do not be afraid to let your doctor know about it so he can guide you through the whole process.

Male | 18

The condition of breast enlargement in men is called gynecomastia. It can be due to hormonal changes, medications or health conditions. It is advised that a plastic surgeon should be consulted for further evaluation and management. Do not medicate yourself, or take nonprescription medications without consulting a doctor.

I've had multiple implants and implants removal surgeries, after the surgeries, I am sweating a lot, I request (only if possible) my medications be some kind of tablets

Male | 15

In most cases, post-implant surgeries include sweat because of healing. This kind of sweat is indicative of steps taken by the body to get rid of additional heat. If you feel sweaty, it means that there is a process happening which is normal for a person having anxiety or activity. Drinking water and wearing light clothes may help, however, it is better to keep cool and stay hydrated. If after all these you still face excessive sweating, please let your plastic surgeon know.

Removing the penis head, also called circumcision is surgery that cuts off the foreskin tip covering. It's usually done for cultural, faith, or health reasons. Some think it aids hygiene, cuts infection risk, and lowers disease odds. It's seen as safe when experts do it properly and cleanly. But like any op, dangers exist: bleeding, infections, feeling changes. So, discuss with a plastic surgeon to grasp the prospective perks and dangers before deciding.

When can i blow my nose after rhinoplasty?

Male | 33

After a rhinoplasty, it is usually recommended to refrain from nose blowing for several weeks as the healing process can be disturbed. This can vary greatly depending on the surgical procedure itself and your individual healing timetable. It is necessary to follow the specific postoperative instructions of your plastic surgeon. They can give a tailored schedule when it is safe to return doing such activities as nose blowing. It is very important to have regular follow-up appointments so they can monitor your healing and ensure that you recover successfully.

Which laser treatment to opt for curing Pilonidal Sinus?

Diode laser treatment is required for Pilonidal Sinus. Actually Pilonidal Sinus can be treated surgically only. The cavity needs to be removed surgically otherwise the problem will reoccur. After the surgery has been done a diode laser will clear the hairs over the back portion and that will result into complete remission

I have a scar on my chin which makes me feel insecure about myself at times, i took help from CO2 laser treatment but it hasn't totally disappeared, I think I'll look much good without it, please help me out

Male | 17

Scars can result from various causes, including injury or acne, and they may not disappear completely with simple interventions. While CO2 laser therapy can improve their appearance, sometimes multiple sessions are necessary for optimal results. You might also explore additional options like silicone gel sheets, fractional laser treatments, or microneedling. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can assess your scar and suggest tailored treatments.

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.

Female | 46

I think it's still 2 months post surgery. There could be inflammatory reaction because of the sutures. It is possible so we need to see the pictures to evaluate it correctly and I think most of the times they dissolve by themselves. If there's no fever or any other issues, just you can wait for some more time for body to respond to the inflammatory reaction though active intervention is required.

Right now you can share the picture so that we can evaluate it better. still it's just 2 months old we would prefer to wait and watch. You can also visit best plastic surgeon in India for exact treatment.
