How To Maintain the Results of your Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Easy steps to take to maintain your cosmetic surgery results.

Cosmetic procedures are a substantial financial investment that insurance rarely covers. You want to ensure the results last long as possible, and there are many things that can be done to ensure that the results do last. Most of these things are within your power to control. The procedure should help you keep your “new look” long as possible, so ensure you follow my recommended follow-ups and touch-ups advised by the healthcare professionals and surgeons that do the procedures on you. This helps the results keep their edge, and helps the procedure results not to “fade” over time. If there is post-procedure advice provided by the healthcare experts, FOLLOW the advice. It is for a reason even if you don’t personally understand what the reason is.

3 Ways To Maintain Cosmetic Surgery Results:

Stay Active & Eat Well

Many procedures require the changing of size of least one body part. These kinds of treatments include liposuctions, tummy tucks, and body-sculpting procedures. These procedures are a great help in getting the physical look you desire, but you also must do your part maintaining the results provided by the procedure. You invested a lot of money, and some pain in these procedures to begin with, so ensure your results are preserved by putting in the effort required to keep the results you have gained.

For these kinds of procedures weight maintenance, and sometimes further weight-loss is required to help achieve the look you desire. The surgery is a tool to help you get the body you dreamed of, but it’s not a sure-fire fix to the problem. Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly will go a long way in helping keep the results of your procedure up to your expectations. Otherwise, if you choose to go back to eating poorly and not exercising frequently/regularly the fat deposits or weight will come back even after it was removed. Sometimes people can gain even MORE weight or fat than they lost to begin with. To obtain the results again, an entirely new procedure may be required to get things back under control. Not only is that more pain and more recovery time, but it’s paying for a procedure you already doled out for once.

Also, opt to partake in a follow-up procedure recommended by healthcare professionals to maintain, and help enhance your new look. You have a great new look after a procedure, but eating right and working out will only let you help yourself. That is not a commitment anyone can make for you but you. You must decide to keep those results up and keep yourself looking at how you want to look.

Cut Out Bad [Nicotine] Habits:

Quitting things you know are terrible for your health will not only improve your internal health, but it will also help preserve the results of your surgical procedures. Processes such as facelifts or Botox will rapidly decline if you continue to use nicotine products including pipes, tobacco (chew), and cigarettes. These harmful agents cause premature aging wrinkles, aging spots, and skin blemishes to reappear even after surgeries were used to help erase those marks, to begin with.

Moreover, the internal damage such chemicals like nicotine can do to your teeth, gums, esophagus, and lungs are equally dangerous. Pipes, tobacco (chew), and cigarettes have carcinogens that can cause severe problems like cancers, which in some cases can be deadly. That’s another reason to kick the bad habits all together!

Listen To Your Doctor’s Advice:

When your healthcare professionals give you follow-up procedures and advice, be sure to listen to the advice in its entirety. Even if it seems like a waste of time or pointless to you remember: THEY HAVE TOLD YOU TO DO THIS FOR A REASON!

Do not return to normal activities until you are cleared by a medical professional to do so. Returning to activities earlier only risks harming yourself! If the pain lasts longer or is more intense than the doctor said it should be, seek follow-up care as something such as infections could be wrong. If at any point you have any questions or concerns about your results contact your healthcare provider immediately. It’s your well-being at stake, and their job is to protect that!

Conclusions:

Plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures are simply tools to help you look and feel your best! It’s up to you to keep the results up after the procedure is over. Do not let yourself relapse and slide back into your bad habits, or you will erase all the progress that the procedure helped you make. Remember, insurance policies do not cover cosmetic procedures, so take every action to help preserve the investment you have made in yourself!

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

    In order to maintain high safety standards, we ask that you complete a thorough medical exam before we begin your procedures. With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
