The Healing Glow: How to Care for Your Skin After Cosmetic Surgery Like a Pro 🪙


The Healing Glow: How to Care for Your Skin After Cosmetic Surgery Like a Pro 🪙

Cosmetic surgery is just the first step. True beauty shines when healing is done the right way — from the inside out. Whether you’ve had a tummy tuck, BBL, or liposuction, your skin needs gentle, holistic support during recovery. At FL Aesthetic Clinic Beauty and Health in Cape Town, we specialize in post-op skincare that restores, refreshes, and brings out your natural glow.

🌿 Why Post-Op Skincare Matters

After surgery, your body works overtime to heal. Swelling, bruising, and sensitivity are normal — but how you care for your skin during this phase can affect long-term results, scarring, and your overall wellness. Post-op skincare isn’t luxury — it’s essential healing.

💆‍♀️ 1. Embrace Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

MLD is a gentle, rhythmic massage that helps move lymph fluid, reduce swelling, and detox your body. At our clinic, this is one of the most requested post-surgery treatments — especially helpful within 3 to 10 days post-op.

💧 2. Hydrate, Inside and Out

Healing skin is thirsty skin. Drink plenty of water and use hydrating, fragrance-free products like CeraVe and Cetaphil to soothe and protect your skin barrier.

🛑 3. Avoid Harsh Ingredients

Now is not the time for exfoliating acids or chemical treatments. Your skin is fragile — treat it with gentle, loving care until it fully recovers.

☀️ 4. Shield Your Skin From the Sun

Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation on healing skin. Wear SPF 30+, stay in the shade, and cover treated areas to protect your investment.

💖 5. Nourish Your Body and Emotions

Rest is part of healing. Take naps, eat healing foods like leafy greens and berries, and stay emotionally supported. Remember, beauty is not just skin deep — healing begins with peace.
