Post-operative recovery
What is post-operative ultrasound?
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency mechanical waves that penetrate the subcutaneous tissue, producing a gentle thermal effect and a deep cellular micromassage. Applied after cosmetic surgery, it speeds up the reabsorption of edema, reduces bruising and prevents the formation of fibrosis
It is an essential complementary treatment in many recovery protocols after liposuction, liposculpture, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), body lift, mammoplasty or facelift.
Post-operative ultrasound consists of 30-minute in-clinic sessions that help your body recover better after cosmetic surgery. They are applied during the first weeks of recovery in direct coordination with your surgeon.

Are you a good candidate for ultrasound treatment?
Post-operative ultrasound treatment is a technique used in aesthetic medicine and post-surgical recovery to speed up tissue regeneration, reduce swelling and improve results after cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. Using low-frequency ultrasound waves, it promotes circulation, drainage and tissue repair in a non-invasive way.
This treatment is usually recommended after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), bichectomy, facelift or body surgery, helping to reduce discomfort and optimize recovery.

People who have had cosmetic surgery
It is ideal for patients who have undergone body or facial surgical procedures and want to improve their post-operative recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Which surgeries is post-operative ultrasound recommended after?
It is frequently recommended after procedures such as liposuction, liposculpture, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), BBL, breast lift (mastopexy), breast augmentation or reduction, reconstructive surgery and various body or facial procedures.
When should I start post-operative ultrasound?
The start depends on medical advice and the type of surgery. In many cases it begins between the first 48 hours and the first week after surgery.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the procedure and each patient's progress. Generally, between 5 and 15 sessions are recommended.
Is post-operative ultrasound painful?
It is not usually painful. Most patients feel gentle warmth and a relaxing sensation during the session.
What is the difference between lymphatic drainage and ultrasound?
Lymphatic drainage helps move retained fluids, while ultrasound acts more deeply on swollen tissues and fibrosis. The two treatments usually complement each other.
Does ultrasound help get rid of fibrosis after surgery?
Yes. Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the most widely used treatments to help prevent and improve post-operative fibrosis.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It can be combined with manual lymphatic drainage, radiofrequency, pressotherapy, post-operative massage and other aesthetic recovery therapies. The right combination will depend on the professional assessment and each patient's stage of recovery.
Does it have side effects?
When performed by trained professionals, it is a safe procedure. In some cases there may be mild temporary tenderness.
What are the benefits of completing the full course of treatment?
Completing the protocol helps improve aesthetic results, speed up recovery, reduce irregularities, lessen persistent fibrosis and help the tissues settle better after surgery.
Can I have ultrasound if I still have swelling?
Yes. In fact, one of the main goals of the treatment is to help reduce swelling and make recovery easier.
Does ultrasound replace post-operative massage?
No. It is a complementary therapy. Combining both techniques is often recommended for better results.
How do I know if I need post-operative ultrasound?
Ideally, the recommendation should come from a professional based on the type of surgery, the degree of swelling, the presence of fibrosis and the overall progress of your recovery.
What should I do before each ultrasound session?
We recommend staying well hydrated, wearing your compression garment if the specialist prescribed one, arriving with the area clean and always following medical instructions to optimize the results of the treatment.
What results can I expect from post-operative ultrasound?
Patients usually notice a gradual reduction in swelling, softer tissues, better mobility, a more comfortable recovery and a gradual improvement in the aesthetic result.
Who should not have post-operative ultrasound?
There are some contraindications, such as active infections, open wounds without medical authorization, thrombosis and certain specific medical conditions. For this reason, a prior consultation is always recommended before starting treatment.
Can I book a consultation before starting?
Yes. The initial consultation allows us to define the most suitable protocol for your surgery and stage of recovery.
How can I book an appointment?
You can contact us by phone, WhatsApp or social media to book your consultation or start your post-operative treatment.

Llevaba mucho tiempo planteándome una operación de pecho por el miedo a que quedara poco natural y que se ajustara a mis expectativas. En cuanto conocí a la Dra. Marina, supe que era el momento y que sería ella quien me operara. No me equivoqué. Muchas gracias por todo.
