We're wrapping up our Recovery Q&A series with Part 3!

In this episode, we answer three important questions:

  • How does compression actually make fluid go away?
  • What should you do about scar tissue forming along your incision?
  • And is it safe to use conscious sedation with Valium for in-office procedures?

We talk through the science behind compression garments, the normal scar healing process, and why a little medication can make your experience so much better.

What You'll Learn:

-How compression garments prevent excessive swelling and fluid buildup.

-The timeline for lymphatic massage after surgery.

-Understanding normal scar formation vs. problematic scarring.

-The benefits of conscious sedation for in-office procedures.

-Why anxiety management matters for your surgical experience.
