When considering plastic surgery, several important factors may come to mind that will ensure the best possible outcome. What technique or method is right for you? What type of facility or practice should you choose? And extremely crucial, which plastic surgeon will you trust to perform your procedure? Something that is equally important but often not considered enough is how will my surgeon and I ensure safe and proper healing?
The healing process is critical after surgery and can make a huge difference in how long it takes to heal, whether follow-up care is needed, and the extent of visible scarring. Active wound care with Prevena Incision Therapy in Miami gives you and your surgeon an advantage in helping you heal so you can return to your daily life without complications and enjoy your enhanced physique.
The team at Zuri Plastic Surgery, are committed to not only providing stellar aesthetic results but also ensuring that every patient in every procedure is comfortable, cared for, and able to get back to their daily life as soon as possible. At our office in Miami Prevena Incision Therapy is used for wound care after plastic surgery, and helps accelerate healing so you can rest, recover and get moving again.
Prevena Incision Therapy is an active wound care device that works in several different ways to promote healing and prevent complications. This incision management system can effectively help patients avoid superficial infections, especially those at a higher risk.
Placed over the incision and surrounding skin, the specialized dressing is attached via a tube to a small, battery-powered unit that delivers continuous negative pressure to the incision. This pressure helps hold the edges of the incision together, creating a better barrier for contamination, decreasing the tension on sutures, and reducing swelling. The system also improves excess fluid collection in the area and helps with pain management. In most cases, better healing means less noticeable scarring.
The dressing and device are applied during the surgical procedure after the incision has been sutured and closed but before the patient is woken from anesthesia. The battery-operated gentle suction system lasts for seven days, and Dr. Z typically recommends use for the duration of that time.
On day seven, the dressing can be removed by either the patient or by our medical staff in the office. Zuri Plastic Surgery usually offers Prevena Incision Therapy to aid with incision management for the following surgeries: arm lift (brachioplasty), back lift (torsoplasty), breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), mommy makeover, thigh lift (thighplasty), and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
While Prevena Incision Therapy is an outstanding aid for major surgeries and large incisions, we do not use it in every procedure. Smaller incisions that are made for facelifts, neck lifts, other facial surgeries, and tiny liposuction incisions are not extensive enough to require this treatment. These types of incisions typically heal very well on their own and do not create the challenges that larger body surgery incisions have the potential for.
With any surgery, proper healing and wound care is critical for positive outcomes. With em, the desire to have the most minimal scarring possible is also a significant factor, and incision management is a huge part of how a scar will turn out.
When using Prevena Incision Therapy Miami patients can shorten healing time, avoid the need for hospital stays or revision surgeries, and get you to the point where you can enjoy the aesthetic improvements from your surgery sooner. Using this device can help:
