- Reduce Alcohol and Caffeine: Minimize these substances to decrease strain on your liver and kidneys.
- Incorporate Light Exercise: Activities like walking or yoga can help improve circulation and lymphatic flow.
- Take Supplements (if approved): Some supplements, such as vitamins C and D or bromelain, can support immunity and healing. Always consult your doctor before starting any supplements.
- Dry Brushing or Exfoliating: This stimulates the lymphatic system and exfoliates the skin, improving circulation.

If you have bright red bleeding from the incision sites that are difficult to control with light pressure.
Expanded Post-Op Instructions
** These instructions are used as a general guideline. For your individual needs, your nurse will guide you.
FLUIDS: Fluids are absolutely essential for your recovery. This will prevent dehydration, prevent dizziness and keep the body at an optimal state to recover.
BLOOD CLOT PREVENTION & ACTIVITY: When you are awake, please be sure to get up and walk every hour. Not exercise, but walking from one room to another in the house/hotel. You may resume normal exercise at 3 weeks or as directed otherwise.
(Anytime you increase your heart rate, you will swell more )
GARMENT: Your doctor/ Surgery Office will provide you with a compression garment appropriate to your need/procedure. Typically known as a Stage 1 Faja which should have one clamp and a zipper that lays flat on the abdomen. Please wear this for 20 hours a day for the first 3 to 4 weeks as well as your ab boards and foams. After that, you may wear the garment 8-12 hours a day when it is convenient for you.
BATHING: You may shower 24 hours after your procedure. ALL dressings may come off. You will take off your garment EXTREMELY slowly while lying on the bed. Pat dry and place appropriate dressings over.
INCISION CARE: After your shower, please use a small amount of bacitracin ( nothing too goopy) over each incision. You will do this for two weeks. Once all incisions are completely closed, you may start using scar gel or any scar gel of your preference.
PAIN/ ANTIBIOTICS: DOCTOR will prescribe you various medications. CONSULT YOUR NURSE WITH QUESTIONS.
LEAKAGE/ DRAINAGE: Numbing fluid will be placed under the skin to ensure you are comfortable throughout your procedure. The small incisions will be kept open so that you leak out the excess fluid. Better out than in!
NUTRITION: Please plan on a high protein, low sodium diet for at least 3 weeks. This will maximize healing while minimizing any extra swelling from excessive salt intake.
FOLLOW UPS: One week, one month, three months, six months with the nursing staff.
