PREOPERATIVE TREATMENT:

* Fourteen Days Prior to Surgery --------- Vitamin Therapy

The vitamin surgery program by Vitamedica. Surgery can be a stressful event and the more invasive the procedure, the greater its demands on the body. Healing requires that the body create new tissue and blood vessels, repair injured tissue and step up the production of cells that repair wounds. This complex activity won't occur efficiently if your diet is short on essential nutrients. The Vitamedica Surgery Program provides internal skin and wound care by enhancing the body's natural mechanisms for repair and healing. The result: optimal surgical outcome.

* Ten Days Prior to Surgery --------- Complimentary Post-operative Care Kit

This Kit will be given to you at the time of your preoperative visit. It will include items that you will need following your surgery, such as bandages, hydrogen peroxide, antibacterial ointment, etc. These items are provided to all our surgery patients at no cost.


* Seven Days Prior to Surgery --------- Lymphatic Drainage Massage.

Lymphatic drainage therapy is a specialized type of massage that is designed to activate and cleanse the human fluid system. Lymphatic drainage has three main effects: it improves the circulation of lymph fluid throughout the body; it stimulates the activation of the immune system; and also stimulates the nervous system. This treatment is very beneficial before and after surgery.

Note: These timeframes are only a guideline. All patients heal and recover differently. Appointments will be made according to each individual and at the approval of Dr. Yarish.

In order to make this experience more convenient and affordable, we have created a combination of ultimate experience packages specifically tailored to enhance each procedure. Each of these experiences is made available at very special prices for both products and services. Dr. Yarish strongly recommends that you take advantage of this “comprehensive rejuvenation concept.” The program outlined for you will be instituted preoperatively, and will be continued postoperatively until healing is complete.
