Body Contouring Recovery

Many patients are able to return to daily activities within several days and returning to non-strenuous activities and work within weeks. Most patients can return to exercise routines within six weeks without restrictions. Patients will be given compression garments, medication for pain and an option of having a non-narcotic pain pump during the healing process. A special and scientifically proven anti-scar program is instituted after the incisions are healed consisting of Embrace technology and silicone gel strips. When needed injectable steroids and lasers are available to improve the scar appearance.
