WOOD THERAPY TREATMENT

This treatment uses wooden implements for targeted contact to break up stubborn pockets of cellulite and move liberated fat cells toward the lymph nodes for processing. By stimulating the lymphatic system, the procedure facilitates a natural flush of cellular debris and stored toxins, which optimizes your metabolic rate to help clear excess weight, and directly address disproportionate bulges and “orange-peel” skin textures.

Filler Massage

Lumps and bumps are common after filler injections. The good news is that they can be effectively treated with gentle massage after the initial swelling subsides. We suggest waiting until you are 5-7 days post needle injections. During this process a compression garment should be utilized to help reduce swelling and bruising.

Plastic Surgery Recovery

Your recovery journey depends on several factors, including the type of surgery, the invasiveness of the procedure, your body’s natural healing process, and how carefully you follow the doctor’s post-care instructions. Shaped Secretz will provide a list of post-care recovery guidelines, taking you through every step of the recovery. You should follow these recommendations closely to avoid complications or delays in your recovery.
  • It’s important to have a good friend, family member, or loved one there to take care of you for the first 48 to 72 hours after surgery.  You’ll need someone to wake you for your medications, help you to the bathroom, prepare your food for you, and to be there in case there is an emergency.
  • Take your pain medications. If your doctor has prescribed antibiotics, be sure to take them. Finish the entire course and do not skip pills.
  • You’ll want to eat light during the first 24 hours after surgery, but be sure to eat something, even if it only consists of a few bites.  Taking medications on an empty stomach can cause nausea and dizziness.
  • Be sure to drink plenty of water. 
  • It is extremely important that you take short walks every 1-2 hours in your home up until bed-time to prevent clots in the legs.  We want this to start THE NIGHT OF SURGERY! 
  • Take your temperature regularly.  An elevated temperature could be a sign of an infection.

Expectations

  • Remember, post-operative swelling is normal. It will subside in time.
  • It is normal to experience pain, pulling or pinching sensation, burning and electric shock sensations for weeks and sometimes months after surgery.
  • It is normal to areas of numbness and even some weakness for weeks to months after the procedure.
  • Swelling and bruising (sometimes severe) is to be expected for several weeks. The swelling will take several months to resolve. It is not uncommon to have foot ankle and leg swelling or swelling on other parts of the body, even though they were not operated on.
  • It is common to weigh more than before surgery in the first few weeks after surgery due to the swelling and extra fluid. This will improve over time.

What to Avoid

  • Do not drink alcohol during your recovery period, especially during the same time that you are taking antibiotics and pain medication.
  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use sunblock with proper UV protection to protect your skin.
  • You must avoid taking a shower for the first 24 to 48 hours to keep your incisions dry and clean. After that period, you can start taking sponge baths or avoid getting your incisions very wet.
  • You must avoid swimming pools and hot tubs for several weeks.
  • BBL Patients should not apply direct pressure to their buttocks for at least 8 weeks.
  • Tummy Tuck patients should not lay flat on their abdomen for at least 3 weeks post-op.

Dressings & Drains

  • Follow your doctor's instructions and use the dressings provided. They will provide the right amount of compression.
  • If a drain was placed, it should be emptied 3 - 4 times per day and its output recorded. Drains need to be in a compressed state in order to work.
  • Your drains will be removed during your post-op appointment.
  • If you have a dressing, keep the clear plastic film or gauze that covers your incision on for 48 hours. If you have a clear plastic film dressing, you may shower right away. Otherwise, keep the dressing clean and dry for 48 hours.
  • If you have surgical tape under your dressing, leave it in place, no other care is needed. If you have sutures, apply bacitracin antibiotic ointment twice daily.
  • Showering (not bathing) is fine for all incisions 48 hours after surgery, unless otherwise instructed.
  • Do not immerse the wound in water (swim, ocean, bath, dish washing, etc.) until at least 14 days after your surgery.
  • Direct trauma and physical stress may result in a separation of the suture edges or a wider scar.

Activity

  • You will need to rest frequently during the first week of your recovery. Don't plan on doing anything more stressful than walking around the house.
  • If possible, sleep with areas of liposuction elevated to help decrease swelling. Some patients choose to sleep in a recliner for the first several nights.
  • Give your body a chance to recover. Do not exercise until your doctor says you may do so.
  • Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while on pain medication.
  • No housework until your doctor gives you the okay to resume normal activity.
  • No smoking. Even second-hand smoke can interfere with your healing. (If you were a smoker, now would be a good time to become an ex-smoker.)
  • BBL Patients may apply direct pressure to their buttocks after 8 weeks.
  • Tummy Tuck Patients may lay flat on their abdomen after 3 weeks post-op.

Massages and Garments

  • Massages may begin 2-3 days (48-72 hours) after surgery.
  • Patients must wear wraparound foam vest for at least 4 weeks postop or foam all around under faja (compression garment), longer if swelling persists.
  • Lower back and abdominal boards should be worn for at least 8 weeks with lipo foam on sides
  • Patient may change into a stage 2 garment 3-4 weeks after surgery.
  • 2-3 lymphatic drainage massages per week for at least a month.
  • 10+ massage sessions are ideal.

10+ massage sessions are ideal

  • Most questions and concerns about pain, swelling and about final results are easiest to answer at the time of your routine follow up visits.
  • Persistent fever over 101 Fahrenheit for 8 hours that does not respond to walking, deep breathing or coughing.
  • Chest pain or significant shortness of breath Increasing redness along the incision that is more than ½ an inch (a small rim of redness around the incision is normal), especially if the redness is expanding or extending over time.
  • Drainage from the incision that is purulent (pus). Also, if the skin next to the incision is turning very dark or black.
  • If you are unable to urinate 8 hours after getting home from the procedure (this will require a trip to the emergency room, unfortunately, but is rare).
  • If there is an emergency, call 911.
