Post-Operative Care

You invested in your surgery — and the right post-operative care is what helps the final result live up to that investment, whether on the body or the face.

Post-Operative Care

Why this treatment matters

The post-operative period is decisive for the final result of any plastic surgery — on the body or the face. It's a delicate phase, in which every detail counts so that the effort of the surgery translates into the result you expect.

After a body surgery (liposuction, abdominoplasty and others), pronounced fibrosis, seromas and swelling can develop, with a slower, more uncomfortable recovery when there is no proper follow-up.

After a facial surgery, it is common to see swelling, bruising and lymphatic congestion, as well as heightened skin sensitivity — natural healing reactions that need support to progress well.

In both cases, taking good care of this phase reduces inflammation, stimulates circulation and helps your surgical result show at its best, with more comfort throughout the recovery.

What we offer

The most modern and effective options

At Instituto Splendore, the post-operative protocol is carried out in coordination with your surgeon and built according to the surgery performed, the area treated and the stage of recovery. Each technique is applied with care, with no cuts and no additional surgery — simply to enhance the recovery already achieved in the operating room.

For body post-operative care, the protocol may include Lymphatic Drainage, Therapeutic Ultrasound (Manthus and others), Radiofrequency and Carboxytherapy. For facial post-operative care, it combines Facial Lymphatic Drainage, Therapeutic Ultrasound and Infrared LED Laser — among other personalized procedures.

Because it depends on your case, the protocol is always exclusive and personalized, defined during the consultation with Dra. Chris Marchetti's team and closely monitored, for a more comfortable, safe recovery with a lasting result.

Every case is unique

Here, no treatment is off-the-shelf

There is no single formula. In the assessment consultation, Dr. Chris Marchetti studies your case — your body, your routine and your goal — and designs the exclusive combination of technologies, methods and protocols that makes sense for you.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Post-Operative Care

Why is post-operative care so important?
<p>Because it is during this phase that the result of the surgery consolidates. Proper follow-up reduces swelling, stimulates circulation, helps soften fibrosis and brings more comfort — preventing recovery from extending longer than necessary.</p>
Do you provide body and facial post-operative care?
<p>Yes. We take care of recovery from both body surgeries (liposuction, abdominoplasty and others) and facial surgeries. The protocol changes according to the operated area and the phase of recovery, always in tune with your surgeon.</p>
When can I start?
<p>It depends on the type of surgery and your surgeon's clearance. In many cases, follow-up begins in the first days after the procedure; the right moment is defined during the consultation, respecting the guidance of the person who operated on you.</p>
Which techniques do you use?
<p>It varies from case to case. For the body, lymphatic drainage, therapeutic ultrasound, radiofrequency and carboxytherapy; for the face, facial lymphatic drainage, therapeutic ultrasound and infrared LED laser, among other personalized procedures. The combination is defined during the consultation.</p>
Do you work together with my surgeon?
<p>Yes, always. The protocol is conducted in tune with the guidance of the responsible surgeon — the idea is to support the recovery they planned, never to replace it.</p>
Does this replace follow-up with my surgeon?
<p>No. Aesthetic post-operative care is complementary: it supports healing and comfort, but does not replace the follow-up visits and guidance of your surgeon, which remain essential.</p>
