Post Surgical Recovery Care in Sarasota, FL

At Healthy Way Medspa, we believe exceptional surgical results deserve exceptional aftercare. Our specialized post-surgical program is led by Claudia Bocanegra, our Post-Surgical Care Specialist, who brings more than 20 years of experience in supporting patients throughout the recovery process. Working under the medical supervision of Dr. Denise Baker, MD, MS, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, our team provides individualized, hands-on care designed around each patient, their procedure, and their specific recovery needs.

We proudly work with board-certified plastic surgery offices and surgical teams, and we understand that every surgeon may have different post-operative protocols and recommendations. That is why we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. We carefully follow your surgeon’s instructions and protocol, while coordinating your care and tailoring treatments such as post-surgical lymphatic drainage, swelling management, wound care, drain and suture removal, ultrasound therapy, and scar tissue treatment to your stage of healing.

From your first post-surgical visit through each step of your recovery, our team is there to provide consistent, compassionate, and individualized attention. We take the time to listen, assess your progress, communicate concerns when appropriate, and adjust your care according to your healing journey and your surgeon’s recommendations. Our goal is to provide optimized post-surgical support while helping you feel informed, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

At Healthy Way Medspa, you are never just another appointment. Your recovery is personal, and your care should be too.

Types of Post Surgical Recovery Care We Offer

Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, specialized technique designed to support the body’s natural lymphatic system during the recovery process. It may help manage post-procedure swelling, fluid retention, and feelings of tightness or discomfort. Treatments are customized based on your procedure, stage of healing, and individual recovery needs. At Healthy Way Medspa, our goal is to help you feel more comfortable and support throughout your post-surgical journey.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound may be incorporated into post-surgical care to support tissue healing and recovery. The treatment uses sound-wave energy to gently target specific areas and may help address swelling, tissue tightness, and areas of concern during the healing process. Treatment is carefully customized based on your procedure and stage of recovery. Our team focuses on providing safe, comfortable care as your body heals.
Suture Removal
Suture removal is an important step in the healing process following certain surgical procedures. Our trained professionals carefully assess the surgical site and remove sutures when appropriate according to the surgeon’s instructions and healing progress. The process is performed with attention to comfort, cleanliness, and proper aftercare. We help ensure you understand how to care for the area following removal.
Drain Removal
Drain removal may be performed as part of your post-surgical recovery once your surgeon’s criteria for removal have been met. Our team carefully evaluates the area and follows appropriate protocols to ensure the process is performed safely and comfortably. Proper aftercare instructions are provided to support continued healing following removal. We work closely with your surgical care plan to help make this important recovery milestone as smooth as possible.
Wound Dressing
Proper wound care is an essential part of a healthy post-surgical recovery. Our wound dressing services help keep surgical sites protected, clean, and appropriately cared for according to your provider’s instructions. Dressings are changed and managed with careful attention to the healing area and your individual surgical needs. We also provide guidance on continued wound care between appointments.
Lymphstar
Lymphstar is an advanced therapeutic treatment that may be incorporated into post-surgical recovery to support lymphatic circulation and help manage swelling and fluid retention. The treatment is designed to complement manual lymphatic techniques and other recovery services when appropriate. Treatment intensity and approach are customized according to your procedure and stage of healing. Our goal is to provide comfortable, supportive care throughout your recovery journey.
Scar Tissue Treatment
Scar Tissue Treatment is designed to help improve the appearance, flexibility, and mobility of healing scar tissue following surgery. Specialized techniques may help address areas of tightness, adhesions, and restricted tissue movement as healing progresses. Treatments are customized based on the location, age, and condition of the scar. With a personalized approach, Healthy Way Medspa supports your journey toward smoother, more comfortable-looking healed tissue.
