from Lipstick & Lipo: Your Unfiltered Guide to Plastic Surgery · host Dr. Smita Ramanadham and Dr. Ashley Amalfi
This week on Lipstick and Lipo we're answering one of your questions about lipo recovery. As our name states, we use lipo consistently in our practices. Now, there are differing opinions about healing, and like many things, it's super personal. Every person has a different pain tolerance, and that's something that's really hard to compare. Even though the incisions are small, lipo is still something major don't assume you'll be back at work the next day. We're going through what recovery actually looks like, what affects it, and how we set our patients up to heal well. Highlights: The misconception small incisions create: this isn't a "lunchtime" procedure. Why bruising and swelling are completely normal no matter who your surgeon is. Pain tolerance is personal why some patients bounce back fast and others need more time. The supplements that can make your bruising worse. How anxiety plays into what you feel during recovery. Why good skin quality matters for your final result. This episode came straight from your comments keep the questions coming!
