How to Maintain Your Plastic Surgery Results

Summary: To maintain your plastic surgery results, you should follow a strict skincare routine, exercise and lifestyle modifications, and attend regular follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon.

Good plastic surgery results require just as much attention to detail after the procedure as it did during the pre-operative and operative stages. To maintain your plastic surgery results, you should follow a strict skincare routine, exercise and lifestyle modifications, and attend regular follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon.

Skincare

One of the most important aspects of post-operative care is establishing a daily skincare routine. Your plastic surgeon can provide specific advice regarding what products you should use and how often. Generally, moisturising the skin 1-2 times a day is recommended. Its important to use products that are non-comedogenic and non-irritating to reduce the chance of developing skin reactions.

You should also protect your skin from environmental damage with a daily sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. Sun damage can undo your results, and make you look older. Wearing a daily sunscreen can help protect your skin from harmful UV rays and maintain your results.

Exercise and Lifestyle Modifications

Exercise and healthy lifestyle modifications should also be maintained to keep your results looking their best. Exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight, which is important for maintaining an even and natural look to your results. Its also important to maintain a healthy diet, as being overweight can cause the skin to sag, making the results of your plastic surgery less noticeable.

Smoking should be avoided as it can cause poor wound healing and skin necrosis, and increase the risk of infection. Alcohol should also be limited, as too much alcohol can disrupt the normal skin healing process.

Follow-up Appointments

Finally, regular follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon are essential for maintaining your plastic surgery results. Your surgeon will assess your results and provide any necessary adjustments or treatments.

Your plastic surgeon may also suggest additional procedures or treatments to maintain your results. For example, your plastic surgeon may advise you to undergo laser skin resurfacing treatments or injectable wrinkle relaxers to maintain a youthful look.

Overall, to maintain your plastic surgery results, you should follow a strict skincare routine, exercise and lifestyle modifications, and attend regular follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon. With the right post-operative care, you can ensure that your results are long-lasting and natural looking.
