Recovery Time: How to Make the Most of Your Results

, , , ,

Recovery Time How to Make the Most of Your ResultsOver the past two decades, Dr. John LeRoy has assembled a menu of cosmetic procedures that he performs for the face, breasts and body. Thousands of patients have enjoyed positive, long-term results through his efforts and uncompromising dedication to personalized treatment. However, a procedure isn’t entirely complete after it’s performed in his office. Patients can influence the significance of a cosmetic procedure’s results with how they choose to commit to their own recovery.

The importance of abiding by post-procedure instructions

After your cosmetic procedure, you might be caught up in the excitement of the positive changes that were made. Try to keep in mind that the post-procedure instructions are crucial to a healthy and successful recovery. Dr. John LeRoy will go over the specific requirements for each different type of recovery, based on your age, body type, and the kind of cosmetic surgery that will be administered. Some procedures, like a rhinoplasty (nose job), have a detailed list of recommendations that place comfort and injury prevention as a priority. Before you race off to show off your fantastic results, make sure that you’re fully on-board with the recovery plan.

Receiving an appropriate amount of rest

A cosmetic procedure like a facelift is understandably not going to have the same recovery time as liposuction, as what’s involved is completely different between the two. Therefore, the amount of required rest will depend upon your physical condition and the type of cosmetic procedure that you have selected. You’ll want to allow yourself to take it easy and catch up on a good book, movie, or new TV show while your body is fully healing.

Hydration and sun exposure  

You’ve likely heard that you need to drink plenty of water since you were a child. However, this especially applies to the days immediately after your cosmetic surgery. Proper hydration helps to ensure that there will be minimal visible scarring. It also keeps your skin looking refreshed and helps to flush out your toxins.

Sun exposure should be actively avoided for a few days to a several weeks, depending on the cosmetic procedure. UV radiation can damage the results that you have attained. If you need to go outside, make sure to wear a wide brim hat or other types of sun protective clothing and SPF 30 sunscreen.

Recovery can sometimes be an overlooked aspect of plastic surgery. However, it’s one of the most important components. If you have any questions about recovery time or anything else plastic surgery related, call Dr. John LeRoy’s office at 404.843.0840. Don’t forget to follow him on Facebook and Twitter for updates on procedures and monthly cosmetic specials.

Plastic Surgeon, Dr. LeRoy Hosts Fall 2018 Charity Contest

, , , ,

If you’ve been a plastic surgery patient or a social media follower of mine for a while, then you’re probably familiar with the quarterly contest that I run for local charity organizations. Once every season of the year, I host a social media charity contest that donates $1000 to one local charity that hasn’t previously won. Since many of my social media followers are members of the community, I like to ask for their input about which organization we should focus our resources on. We will pick the category of donation, but the specific entities who will receive the money are entirely dependent upon your vote. Over the years, we’ve helped some fantastic groups continue to make the community a better place. The nominations for this year will be within the category of animal shelters and rescue.

Plastic Surgeon, Dr. LeRoy Hosts Fall 2018 Charity Contest

The Charity Contest Details Include:

Each of our social media charity contests have two separate phases. The first phase is the nomination process. During our nomination process, we’ll make a post on September 28th, 2018 that asks for recommendations on which local charity to select under the animal shelters and rescue category. For three weeks on the John L. LeRoy Facebook page, followers will nominate the animal shelter or rescue organization of their choice by commenting with their selection. Participants must only nominate an organization once and all previous winners will be omitted from the contest. To give each contender a fair chance, anyone who nominates more than once will be disqualified. The top four most popular nominations will become the finalists.

Once the finalists are chosen, the voting phase of the charity contest begins. During our voting process, Facebook followers will then vote between the four finalists and the winner with the most votes will receive the $1000 donation. The winner will be announced on October 26th, 2018.

Decades ago, I decided to become a double board-certified plastic surgeon with the goal of helping people. This motivation has not changed for me. I’m proud to serve my community and hosting this charity contest gives me a chance to help others beyond the realm of plastic surgery. This fall, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in finding a worthy animal shelter or rescue center for the $1000 donation. Keep an eye on my Facebook posts over the next few weeks and don’t forget to cast your vote!
