As we start 2023, it’s time to look back at our top blog posts in 2022. At bodySCULPT®, we regularly publish informative blogs on various cosmetic surgical procedures such as breast augmentation surgery in Manhattan, tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, fat transfer, InMode EVOLVE treatment, face lift, and arm lift. Our plastic surgeons are experts in performing plastic surgery procedures using the latest surgical, minimally invasive, and non-invasive techniques.
Let’s take a look at the topics that grabbed the attention of our audience in 2022:
It is critical for BBL patients to maintain a healthy diet during the recovery period. Some of the foods you should eat to help your body get all the nutrition it needs to heal after a BBL include Swiss cheese, dark chocolate, soybean products, bananas, potatoes — with their skin, black and/or kidney beans, pumpkin seeds, cashews, and peanuts, quinoa, spinach, avocado, and more. Food items to avoid are – processed meats, refined grains, alcohol, caffeine, sugary cereals, candy, etc.
After breast augmentation, many plastic surgeons recommend lymphatic massage on the treated breasts. Manual lymphatic drainage relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system – which is key to healing, regenerating tissues, and removing toxins from the body. Key benefits of manual lymphatic massage are – efficient healing from illness, injury, or surgery, reduces swelling, helps prevent fluid collection, supports relaxation, relieves stress, reduces discomfort and scar formation by boosting healing responses.
There are many ways to improve swelling after BodyTite liposuction: take a brisk walk during the first few weeks, avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercises until healing is complete, perform lymphatic massage to promote healing, wear a compression garment for at least one week after the surgery, avoid overexposure to the sun, quit smoking, refrain from alcohol when taking pain medications, and take plenty of rest and follow a balanced diet. Choosing the right plastic surgeon is crucial for the success with BodyTite.
Minimally-invasive liposuction procedures using Smartlipo might cause slight swelling and discomfort, which will subside in the first few weeks. Generally, the extent of swelling and inflammation after an abdominal liposuction in NYC will depend on the nature of the procedure and the technique used. Patients can expect the majority of their swelling to dissipate 4–6 weeks post op, and the results will continue to improve with time. When the swelling goes down, a more toned and slimmer abdomen or tummy would be revealed.
Though there is no age limitation when it comes to getting a Brazilian butt lift in NYC, it’s important that you are healthy and don’t have skin laxity. You need to have a stable weight, be a non-smoker and have realistic expectations. ​Skin laxity, which is related to age, is one of the main reasons why patients fail to get good results from body contouring procedures. This blog discusses how expert plastic surgeons evaluate patient considerations carefully to determine their candidacy for the procedure.
The Aesthetic Society’s Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Statistics 2021 reveal a significant and rising interest in face, breast and body procedures. The report notes that, overall, aesthetic body procedures such as abdominoplasty, buttock augmentation, and liposuction increased by 63% since 2020, breast procedures such as breast augmentation, augmentation/ breast lift and breast lift/reductions were up 48%, and specialized face procedures such as brow lifts and face lifts increased 54%.
Smoking affects how the body handles surgery and can cause complications. Plastic surgeons advise patient to quit smoking for a few weeks before and after the tummy tuck surgery in Manhattan. The main problems that smoking causes for tummy tuck patients are – it tightens the blood vessels and decreases healthy circulation, it can cause coughing, leading to pain and might lead to increased blood loss. Smoking also slows the healing process and leads to longer recovery time.
The duration for which you need to wear a compression garment after a facelift typically depends on your surgeon’s instructions. Generally, patients are advised to wear a compression garment for a specified period, often ranging from one to two weeks post-surgery. This garment plays a crucial role in minimizing swelling and promoting proper healing by providing gentle support to the treated areas. While the initial weeks are crucial for adherence to the prescribed timeline, some patients may continue wearing compression garments intermittently for an extended period to manage swelling and enhance the overall aesthetic results.
Eating right is important not only for smooth recovery after breast augmentation but also for your overall wellbeing. Foods you need to avoid after this procedure include alcohol, beans, junk processed foods, refined carbohydrates, cabbage, caffeine, and more. To maintain your breast augmentation results for many years, you need to follow a nutritious and a well-balanced diet.
