Immediate postoperative period
It is important to remember that each surgery is unique, and postoperative care will vary according to the type of intervention, the area operated on, and the particular conditions of each patient. It is always essential to follow the specific instructions of your plastic surgeon.
However, with each surgery it is necessary to perform the immediate postoperative process since it is fundamental to ensure proper recovery from the aesthetic procedure.
We care about you
Postoperative drainage
Postoperative drainage is known as an important medical procedure used after surgery to evacuate fluids, blood, secretions, or fluid accumulations in the area that was surgically operated on.
This postoperative drainage aims to prevent fluid accumulation, minimize the risk of infections, reduce inflammation, promote healing, and thus prevent the formation of seromas or hematomas.
