Two Weeks of Supplements

  • Arnica: Known for its natural anti-inflammatory properties, Arnica helps reduce swelling and bruising, promoting quicker healing.
  • Bromelain: This enzyme derived from pineapples can aid in reducing inflammation and pain, contributing to a more comfortable recovery.
  • Vitamin C: Essential for collagen production, Vitamin C supports skin healing, enhances your body’s ability to repair tissues, and is a powerful antioxidant.
  • Zinc: This vital mineral plays an essential role in wound healing and immune function, helping to reduce the risk of infection.

Supplies for Suture Care

  • Peroxide: A gentle antiseptic solution, peroxide can clean the incision area, minimizing the risk of infection.
  • Q-Tips: These are handy for applying ointments and cleaning around sutures without causing irritation.
  • Antibiotic Ointment: This topical treatment is applied to incisions to prevent bacterial infections and promote healing.

Gel Ice Packs

Gel ice packs provide targeted cold therapy, reducing swelling and discomfort in the days following your surgery. Applying ice helps constrict blood vessels, which can minimize bruising and pain.

Gauze

Gauze pads are essential for covering incisions to protect them from dirt and bacteria. They also help absorb any drainage, keeping the area clean and hygienic.

Lubricating Eye Drops

If you had eyelid surgery, lubricating eye drops will help alleviate dryness and irritation for a more comfortable recovery.

Silicone-Based Scar Therapy

Silicone-based scar therapy products are clinically proven to reduce the appearance of scars. We use Strataderm®, which creates a breathable, flexible layer over the skin, helping your face heal in a controlled environment. This protective layer prevents water loss, reduces redness and itching, dries quickly, and is transparent, making it convenient for daily use. Its gentle formulation also makes it an excellent option for our patients with sensitive skin.
