Recovery Products

At Egrari Plastic Surgery Center we want to provide our patients with easy access to all of post-operative necessities. Here we have provided information on products and options to create to ensure a swift and comfortable recovery.

EXPAREL

EXPAREL is a non-narcotic local analgesic. It is administered during your procedure directly into the surgical site. A single application of EXPAREL is long lasting. EXPAREL is also proven to help patients use fewer narcotics as they start their recovery.

Products that contain bupivacaine, the active ingredient in EXPAREL, may cause temporary numbness in the area injected. Click here to learn more about Exparel.

VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS

Optimal Nutrition For Plastic Surgery Patients

Nowadays, many patients take nutritional supplements in increasing amounts. While generally safe, their use around the time of surgery may not be desirable. VitaMedica’s surgery supplements have been specially formulated to eliminate any nutrients that may have an adverse effect on your outcome. This improves surgical safety. VitaMedica’s surgery supplements also provide nutrients that support internal wound care by enhancing the body’s natural mechanisms for repair and healing. This helps to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.

All of our cosmetic surgery Bellevue facial procedure patients will be provided with a supply of appropriate VitaMedica supplements in their pre-operative visits. Please check with our Patient Care Coordinator to determine which nutritional products would be optimum for your desired outcome. They are also available for purchase if you would like an extra boost in your recovery process for other procedures.

A complete product list is available online at: www.vitamedica.com

RECOVERY GARMENTS

All garments needed for your procedure(s) is provided the day of surgery. All additional garments can be purchased here in our office or online. If you order your garment online, be sure that you are purchasing the correct garment, wearing the wrong garment can effect your healing process and even your results.

SILICONE SCAR TREATMENTS

Depending on your procedure you will get an order form with instructions for your silicone scar treatments. We have a few different options:

Gelzone / Oleeva

Several studies have shown that the use of silicone sheeting can greatly reduce the thickness of scars if used properly and at the correct stage of the healing process. We use Implantech Gelzone wraps for body procedures such as the Lower Body Lift. For other procedures like, Breast Enhancement and Tummy Tucks we like to use Oleeva.

bioCorneum

This is a silicone gel treatment that is used as an alternative for those who undergo arm lift procedures. Because this is such a hard area to keep a silicone sheeting over the scar, we apply bioCorneum silicone gel to the scar instead.

AFTER RECOVERY GARMENTS

COMING SOON

When your recovery garments are no longer needed, we recommend the second stage garment: wireless and sports bras, spanx, etc. These are easy to find but we would like to provide a list of our favorite places to purchase them! Coming soon…

PRACTICE POLICY UPDATE FOR CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19):

Updated May 2022
We have been fully operational since May of 2020. This includes skincare and our non-invasive center (ENIC).
We know that so much of this pandemic caused an inconvenience for you, but we are delighted to see a return to normalcy.
We will continue to be vigilant in our approach to Covid 19. For over two decades, we have considered safety as our most important prerogative — and there has never been a more important time to put that to use.
Here are some things we’re doing to ensure you are protected and that we maintain this facility as a Non-Covid Care (NCC) zone:

Patient Flow and Clinical Office Space

We now have a well-tested protocol of texting patients for control of flow for consultations.
We are assigning everyone to hourly wipe-downs of high-use areas with approved sanitizing wipes.
We are asking that no one wait in the waiting area.
We are coming up with protocols for room wipe-downs after each patient visit.
Every staff member will always wear a mask while in the office.
Every staff member will sanitize or wash hands after every interaction.
Implementation of virtual pre-ops, nursing visits, and questions.

Operating Room Experience

Similar precautions and questionnaires will be provided to establish Covid-19 Clear Status.
All staff will always wear a mask. All staff will always wear gloves.
Hand washing will be done for any patient interaction.
Specific wipe-down of our operating room, recovery, and pre-op areas will be performed.
We will minimize accompanying caretakers to only one. Those caretakers will be treated just like the patients.
Anesthesia Experience
Every anesthesia staff will wear goggles and other protective equipment during intubation.
Our anesthesiologists have been fully trained and are implementing all precautions for prevention of Covid-19 spread.
All circuits will be changed between each patient.
Full wipe-down of surfaces and floors will be performed.
We will implement a time-out protocol to confirm the Covid-19 Clear Status of every patient.

As you can see, we are taking this very seriously. We fully understand that this will cause some inconvenience in the short term, but realize that it is for the best.
Although Covid-19 has been a serious issue, we are seeing a resumption of normalcy. We continue to monitor this situation on a real-time basis, and we will not sit back until we know that we have done everything possible to avoid unnecessary exposure.
When you see us in action, you’ll realize that you have put your trust in the right practice.
