How to Reduce Swelling Quickly After Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is Glovi Plastic Surgery. If you have decided to undergo plastic surgery and are worried about bruising and swelling management!

Or if you have already had plastic surgery and don’t know how to care for yourself afterward, Glovi Plastic Surgery will explain it to you.

Cold compresses Cold compresses are effective for swelling management. Rather than placing ice directly on the face, this method uses gauze, a towel, or other cloth to cool the surgical area. When the area is cooled, blood vessels constrict, helping prevent bleeding in capillaries and also assisting with waste removal, which makes it effective for reducing swelling.

In the early stage after surgery, it is good to apply cold compresses, and afterward, managing swelling with warm compresses is recommended.

Use a high pillow The area with a lot of bruising or swelling should be higher than the heart for faster recovery. This helps minimize swelling by preventing blood from pooling in the head.

Eat vegetables that are good for swelling Blood circulation is important for swelling management after plastic surgery. To improve circulation smoothly, it is good to eat beans and tofu products, which help make blood vessels softer and stronger.

In addition, eating fiber-rich foods such as pumpkin and cucumber is also effective for post-surgery care.
