Robert Whitfield MD outlines a recovery program for aesthetic surgery patients, including techniques to restore upper pole volume, an in-clinic protocol for the first week, and use of a lymphatic device to reduce swelling. He connects physical recovery steps to emotional wellbeing.
We add volume back in cases in the upper pole and the cleavage area to really help with the visual changes that are going to happen from the patient's perspective and just their appearance in general. Now, with, you know, those, you know, techniques, we're still running my program to optimize recovery. If you're in Austin, you're going to come see us for that first week after surgery. And a couple times we're going to get you in our lymphatic device and really get fluid out of you to help optimize your recovery, make you feel better quicker, decreases your recovery time. And this I'll give you the tips and tricks postoperatively that will help you from a physical standpoint, and then this will empower you, you know, emotionally as well, to recover.
