Most surgeries or invasive procedures will lead to some amount of bruising as part of the post-operative healing process. Bruises are the result of small blood vessels (capillaries) being broken or damaged in reaction to a trauma impact, injury, or invasive surgery.

Bruising is uncomfortable and usually affects a person’s social, personal, and work life to some degree. While bruising is generally unavoidable, there are steps you can take to reduce bruising and speed up your recovery time so that you can get back to your normal daily routine.

Cancer removal is part of a broad spectrum of surgical procedures designed to excise cancerous tissue that can develop in any part of the body. The most common forms of cancer are lung cancer and skin cancer. Some types of cancer may be inoperable. Inoperable cancer typically occurs when cancer has metastasized (spread) to the point where surgical removal would be dangerous to the patient. Other types of cancer, like skin cancer, can be easily operated on if detected early. As with any surgical procedure, cancer removal will likely leave a noticeable scar. To help manage your post-operative scars, it’s best to use only clinically-proven products recommended by physicians.

Such items like tubes, dental retainers, implants, respiratory masks, and gel sheets for scar therapy all contain medical grade silicone.

A tummy tuck, known clinically as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at removing fat (subcutaneous) tissue from the middle and lower abdomen. Fat removal in these areas allows the surgeon to contour the shape of the body to create a firmer, tighter waist and midsection. Tummy tucks are one of the most common cosmetic procedure types for men and women who desire a leaner physique. But like any invasive procedure, significant scarring post-surgery is an inevitable result for many patients. Luckily, there are clinically-proven ways to reduce the appearance of most scars and products are easily attainable online.
