hello, 3D plastic surgery Researching surgery to make you look younger and younger Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see.

 

 

 

When consulting on facial contouring,

 

"Doctor, do I really need to get a blood transfusion?" or "I heard other hospitals don't do it..." saying

 

I often get asked questions mixed with concern.

 

 

 

 

Today is this Why the drainage tube is a powerful support system that helps our bodies recover. Okay, let me explain it a little more clearly and step by step! ✨

 

1. Is the saying, "I don't have to worry about bloodshed" really a good thing? ?

🎯 It may sound like a symbol of cleanliness after surgery, but the actual recovery process may be a little different. .

 

It's really positive to hear that you don't have to worry about getting hurt.

 

It feels as if the surgery was so perfect that there was no bleeding at all.

 

However, from a medical perspective, this is an expression that can easily lead to misunderstanding.

 

 

Can you give me an example? 

 

🏃‍♂️ Think about when you were walking down the street and fell and slightly scraped your knee.

 

The bleeding stops quickly, but clear pus (exudate) continues to flow for several days, soaking the gauze, right?

 

Even after facial contouring, this natural reaction occurs in our body.

 

2. Why does pus appear after facial contouring surgery? ?🧐

🎯Because it is a major surgery that covers a wide area of ​​skin and fascia, exudate occurs as a normal reaction of the body. .

 

Facial contouring is not simply a surgery that tightens the outer skin.

 

Exfoliates a wide area of ​​skin and treats deep tissues (fascia) large-scale surgery no see.

 

 

⚠️ What happens when the water pools?

 

Even if the bleeding is completely controlled, pus is bound to come out of the tissues for 2-3 days after the surgery. If this does not come out, it will accumulate between the tissues. severe swelling It becomes.

 

When the amount increases, it accumulates like a water bag seroma It may lead to this.

 

 

3. What role does the blood clot play during the "golden three days" after surgery? 🛡️

🎯It accelerates recovery by removing unnecessary fluids during a time when the tissues need to be tightly adhered.

After facial lifting First 3 days It is a very important period that determines the success or failure of the result.

 

 

📌 Key Points

 

During this period, the fascia and skin must adhere tightly to each other for quick recovery and good results.

 

But if there is mud in between, the tissue won't be able to stick properly, right?

 

 

✔️ Effect of blood pressure

 

Although there is some discomfort, using a drainage tube for 1-2 days effectively drains the pus. Swelling is reduced and recovery is much faster.
