Do I Need to Make Lifestyle Changes After Facial Plastic Surgery?
Usually, people make lifestyle changes before having facial plastic surgery. This can be due to weight management, health complications, or medication complications. However, there may be some tweaks you will want to make after getting plastic surgery to ensure lasting results.
Below is some advice to help keep your new appearance looking great:
Stay On Top of Your Skincare Routine
Facial plastic surgery can help enhance our features and improve functionality, but taking care of our skin’s health and appearance is equally as important to ensure your facial plastic surgery looks fantastic.
You should use skincare that agrees with your skin type. Mild and gentle cleansers without fragrance are best for most skin types as they are unlikely to cause rashes, breakouts, or inflammation. Not only this, but daily moisturizing and SPF application can make a world of difference to the appearance of your skin. These products will create a barrier on your skin and work to prevent any damage that may hinder the appearance of your plastic surgery operation.
What You Eat Matters
Junk food, like processed food and fast food, can not only impact your body but your facial appearance as well. These types of foods contain ingredients that can cause inflammation, bloating, acne, and much more. It’s okay to indulge once in a while but try to refrain from these types of foods to keep your new appearance looking the best.
Follow Up Care
Your facial plastic surgeon should schedule follow-up appointments after your surgery to make sure everything is healing properly. It’s a good practice to regularly check in with a provider to make sure nothing has changed or shifted. If you feel or notice any changes in your appearance, be sure to be proactive and reach out to your facial plastic surgeon as soon as possible.
