00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.375
This time, it’s about important precautions to follow

1
00:00:01.375 --> 00:00:04.375
If you received surgery

2
00:00:04.375 --> 00:00:06.225
The blood remains as it is

3
00:00:06.225 --> 00:00:07.925
Then it may swell up

4
00:00:07.925 --> 00:00:09.725
On the surface layer of the skin

5
00:00:09.725 --> 00:00:11.375
Necrosis occurred a little!

6
00:00:11.375 --> 00:00:13.825
The mouth is practically like this

7
00:00:13.825 --> 00:00:15.325
so it will be difficult to even open them

8
00:00:15.325 --> 00:00:18.175
The talk about doubling the effect of the surgery

9
00:00:18.175 --> 00:00:20.425
And that method is...!

10
00:00:22.575 --> 00:00:24.075
Hugo Plastic Surgery

11
00:00:24.075 --> 00:00:25.425
Hello!

12
00:00:25.425 --> 00:00:28.375
It’s Hugo Plastic Surgery TV that prioritizes people

13
00:00:28.375 --> 00:00:30.575
And I’m Dr Yang Sunghyuk

14
00:00:30.975 --> 00:00:32.725
Last time, we talked about

15
00:00:32.725 --> 00:00:33.325
the ultimate!

16
00:00:33.325 --> 00:00:34.525
The best method!

17
00:00:34.525 --> 00:00:36.825
A full facelift to looking young, right?


18
00:00:36.825 --> 00:00:39.575
This time, it’s about important precautions to follow

19
00:00:39.575 --> 00:00:42.625
If you received a surgery

20
00:00:42.625 --> 00:00:49.825
Q. How can you double the effect of surgery after the procedure?

21
00:00:49.825 --> 00:00:53.525
The talk about doubling the effect of the surgery

22
00:00:53.525 --> 00:00:59.274
That is why I want to introduce a method to help recover faster and have satisfying results

23
00:00:59.274 --> 00:01:01.524
And that method is...!

24
00:01:01.524 --> 00:01:03.324
(The method to double the effect of surgery is) 
to follow the precautions!

25
00:01:03.324 --> 00:01:05.324
Regarding a few precautions

26
00:01:05.324 --> 00:01:07.674
There are few points

27
00:01:07.674 --> 00:01:09.074
I want to emphasis

28
00:01:09.074 --> 00:01:11.874
So I'll explain them with some few examples

29
00:01:11.874 --> 00:01:14.924
First of all, it must’ve been so hard for having a major surgery

30
00:01:17.124 --> 00:01:21.024
A full facelift is really a major surgery 

31
00:01:21.024 --> 00:01:23.774
After being under anesthesia for a long time

32
00:01:23.774 --> 00:01:27.324
You barely walk to the recovery room after waking up

33
00:01:27.324 --> 00:01:29.224
When you think you’re back to your senses

34
00:01:29.224 --> 00:01:32.574
The hospital will tell you to go home

35
00:01:32.574 --> 00:01:34.174
You finally made it home

36
00:01:34.174 --> 00:01:36.574
But you must be very anxious

37
00:01:36.574 --> 00:01:37.774
So for those people

38
00:01:37.774 --> 00:01:40.074
I'll explain some precautions 

39
00:01:40.074 --> 00:01:44.074
you can follow, so keep watching

40
00:01:44.074 --> 00:01:46.374
First, you don't have to worry too much after the surgery

41
00:01:46.374 --> 00:01:48.674
Make sure to change

42
00:01:48.674 --> 00:01:50.824
into comfortable clothes

43
00:01:50.824 --> 00:01:53.224
There may be tubes coming out on both sides

44
00:01:53.224 --> 00:01:54.924
with a drain

45
00:01:54.924 --> 00:01:59.774
It's important to secure the tubes so that they don't get pulled out

46
00:01:59.774 --> 00:02:01.024
Because it's heavy…

47
00:02:01.024 --> 00:02:02.574
Because it's uncomfortable when it's hanging…

48
00:02:02.574 --> 00:02:04.474
And it's a perfect

49
00:02:04.474 --> 00:02:06.974
(Fits perfectly in the pocket)
pocket size

50
00:02:06.974 --> 00:02:07.974
But the problem is

51
00:02:07.974 --> 00:02:11.024
as the drain bulbs puff up

52
00:02:11.024 --> 00:02:12.674
it causes negative pressure to the surgical area 


53
00:02:12.674 --> 00:02:15.224
stimulating a blood flow to the drains


54
00:02:15.224 --> 00:02:17.924
But if it's inside a pocket, the drains is restricted 

55
00:02:17.924 --> 00:02:19.774
causing a disruption in the blood flow

56
00:02:19.774 --> 00:02:21.474
Which results in swelling on the face

57
00:02:21.474 --> 00:02:23.174
Another case is

58
00:02:23.174 --> 00:02:24.924
Even though it's hanging

59
00:02:24.924 --> 00:02:26.824
it gets heavier over time

60
00:02:26.824 --> 00:02:31.924
And since the drain bulb is structured with a lid

61
00:02:32.224 --> 00:02:34.524
Some would actually empty their drain bulb

62
00:02:34.524 --> 00:02:35.824
But you shouldn’t do that!

63
00:02:35.824 --> 00:02:39.174
Recently, a patient emptied it because it was heavy

64
00:02:39.174 --> 00:02:41.374
The next day when the patient came to the hospital

65
00:02:41.374 --> 00:02:43.074
It was really swelled up!

66
00:02:43.074 --> 00:02:45.624
There was no negative pressure at all

67
00:02:45.624 --> 00:02:46.374
So

68
00:02:46.374 --> 00:02:47.923
for that patient


69
00:02:47.923 --> 00:02:51.523
because their blood was clogged, they had to get it drained


70
00:02:51.523 --> 00:02:53.723
and replace their drain bulbs again

71
00:02:53.723 --> 00:02:54.473
But the problem is!

72
00:02:54.473 --> 00:02:55.823
When the blood is clogged

73
00:02:55.823 --> 00:02:57.523
Our skin is already thin enough

74
00:02:57.523 --> 00:02:59.573
It becomes tighter and tighter! And then!

75
00:02:59.773 --> 00:03:00.523
The skin

76
00:03:00.523 --> 00:03:03.023
becomes thinner and thinner…

77
00:03:03.023 --> 00:03:04.573
From the neck, the blood

78
00:03:04.573 --> 00:03:06.623
was barely flowing up

79
00:03:06.623 --> 00:03:09.073
causing a lack of blood circulation 

80
00:03:09.073 --> 00:03:11.823
And in the end...?

81
00:03:11.823 --> 00:03:13.623
On the surface of the skin

82
00:03:13.623 --> 00:03:15.273
a bit of necrosis occurred!

83
00:03:15.273 --> 00:03:16.373
But fortunately

84
00:03:16.373 --> 00:03:18.923
It seemed like only the surface of the skin was slightly scratched

85
00:03:18.923 --> 00:03:22.173
but with a bit of bandage the patient recovered completely 

86
00:03:22.173 --> 00:03:23.423
As such!

87
00:03:23.423 --> 00:03:25.723
You need to take good care of your drains

88
00:03:25.723 --> 00:03:26.573
I said…

89
00:03:26.573 --> 00:03:27.773
Not to worry but

90
00:03:27.773 --> 00:03:28.973
told you a scary story, didn't I?

91
00:03:28.973 --> 00:03:30.423
But this is just an example

92
00:03:30.423 --> 00:03:32.123
Don't place them in your pockets!

93
00:03:32.123 --> 00:03:33.623
Hang it carefully!

94
00:03:33.623 --> 00:03:35.273
Don't empty your drain bulbs yourself!

95
00:03:35.273 --> 00:03:37.323
Just come back the next day and we'll empty it for you

96
00:03:37.323 --> 00:03:42.273
Q. Considering it's a facial procedure, I'm worried about eating. When is it possible to go back to having regular food?

97
00:03:42.273 --> 00:03:44.573
I can totally understand that

98
00:03:44.573 --> 00:03:45.973
Right after the surgery

99
00:03:45.973 --> 00:03:49.073
The patients are wrapped up in bandages and also with facial compression bandages

100
00:03:49.073 --> 00:03:51.573
The mouth is practically like this

101
00:03:51.573 --> 00:03:53.023
so it will be difficult to even open them

102
00:03:53.023 --> 00:03:54.673
It's also swollen

103
00:03:54.673 --> 00:03:56.223
and lips don't move well either

104
00:03:56.223 --> 00:04:01.423
You can eat from 4 hours after the surgery

105
00:04:01.423 --> 00:04:04.523
but avoid strong flavored foods on the day of the surgery

106
00:04:04.523 --> 00:04:09.623
We recommend soft foods like 'porridge' or 'soup‘ that are easy to swallow

107
00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:14.773
Remove the compression garment when eating

108
00:04:14.773 --> 00:04:16.373
Don't remove the bandages though

109
00:04:16.373 --> 00:04:18.273
From the day after the surgery

110
00:04:18.273 --> 00:04:20.173
You can have normal meals

111
00:04:20.173 --> 00:04:23.123
Just try to avoid hard foods for about a month

112
00:04:23.123 --> 00:04:23.873
And

113
00:04:23.873 --> 00:04:26.573
There may be a time when it's hard to open your mouth

114
00:04:26.573 --> 00:04:28.373
From about a month later

115
00:04:28.373 --> 00:04:30.273
If you practice opening your mouth

116
00:04:30.273 --> 00:04:32.323
Your mouth may open wide like before

117
00:04:32.323 --> 00:04:33.823
So you don't have to worry too much

118
00:04:33.823 --> 00:04:35.723
The medicine you received when you were discharged

119
00:04:35.723 --> 00:04:37.323
Should be taken three times a day


120
00:04:37.323 --> 00:04:40.622
until the date you were prescribed to

121
00:04:40.622 --> 00:04:45.322
If you have pain, take something like Tylenol

122
00:04:45.322 --> 00:04:48.222
You know how you start to crave pork belly after about 2 weeks


123
00:04:48.222 --> 00:04:49.322
One thing that's for sure is

124
00:04:49.322 --> 00:04:53.822
not that you shouldn't eat meat, but you should avoid food that is tough

125
00:04:53.822 --> 00:04:55.472
When some kind of strong pressure is applied

126
00:04:55.472 --> 00:04:57.072
As blood flows

127
00:04:57.072 --> 00:04:59.672
it could cause rebleeding


128
00:04:59.672 --> 00:05:04.222
The intention is to avoid expected side effects

129
00:05:04.222 --> 00:05:05.872
If you want to eat pork, try boiled pork belly!

130
00:05:05.872 --> 00:05:07.572
It's soft and delicious! You can always have it that way

131
00:05:08.022 --> 00:05:10.072
I actually want my patients to eat well

132
00:05:10.072 --> 00:05:15.022
Q. I'm worried about the swelling in my face, when would it subside?

133
00:05:15.022 --> 00:05:19.072
Facial swelling is common until 3 days after the surgery

134
00:05:19.072 --> 00:05:22.872
To prevent further swelling, cold compresses is needed

135
00:05:22.872 --> 00:05:23.922
Even when sleeping

136
00:05:23.922 --> 00:05:27.322
It'll be better to have your face is higher 

137
00:05:27.322 --> 00:05:28.872
than your heart

138
00:05:28.872 --> 00:05:31.572
From about 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery

139
00:05:31.572 --> 00:05:32.922
Try to reduce the amount of time

140
00:05:32.922 --> 00:05:34.722
you spend lying and sitting down

141
00:05:34.722 --> 00:05:37.072
And instead, try to walk more

142
00:05:37.072 --> 00:05:40.522
With the compression bandages, it's best to have them on

143
00:05:40.522 --> 00:05:43.672
even when you're sleeping for the first 10 days 

144
00:05:43.672 --> 00:05:45.372
I also have a story for this one

145
00:05:45.372 --> 00:05:47.522
A patient who was doing so well with their compression bandages after the surgery

146
00:05:47.522 --> 00:05:49.022
Visited us on the first day

147
00:05:49.022 --> 00:05:50.622
And the patient had very little swelling

148
00:05:50.622 --> 00:05:51.872
And I went


149
00:05:51.872 --> 00:05:53.672
"You did really well! just keep up for a little more!"

150
00:05:53.672 --> 00:05:56.772
But after hearing all that...

151
00:05:56.772 --> 00:05:57.972
That patient stopped doing it

152
00:05:57.972 --> 00:06:00.122
And when I saw the patient again on their next visit

153
00:06:00.122 --> 00:06:01.672
They were extremely swollen

154
00:06:03.422 --> 00:06:07.172
And the patient said, "I took it off because it's uncomfortable when I sleep..."

155
00:06:07.172 --> 00:06:07.772
But you see

156
00:06:07.772 --> 00:06:10.972
Pressure is one of the most important factors

157
00:06:10.972 --> 00:06:13.922
You should do it for about 3-5 days

158
00:06:13.922 --> 00:06:15.522
The reason you feel pressure also

159
00:06:15.522 --> 00:06:17.722
Means that the pressure is working well

160
00:06:17.722 --> 00:06:20.822
If you can endure it a little longer, it would be great

161
00:06:20.822 --> 00:06:25.772
Q. When is it possible to go back to basic daily life?

162
00:06:25.772 --> 00:06:28.672
After the surgery, basic daily life

163
00:06:28.672 --> 00:06:30.971
is possible from about after a week

164
00:06:30.971 --> 00:06:33.271
When the stitches are removed after a week


165
00:06:33.271 --> 00:06:34.621
and the bandages after 10 days

166
00:06:34.621 --> 00:06:37.071
Strangely enough, swelling starts to subside quite fast

167
00:06:37.071 --> 00:06:40.021
After about a month, a lot of swelling goes down without realizing it

168
00:06:40.021 --> 00:06:43.621
The drains are removed after 2 to 3 days

169
00:06:43.621 --> 00:06:45.421
After removing the drains

170
00:06:45.421 --> 00:06:47.721
It's possible to wash your face the following day 

171
00:06:47.721 --> 00:06:49.521
Of course, when you wash your face

172
00:06:49.521 --> 00:06:51.421
it could wet the wounds

173
00:06:51.421 --> 00:06:53.271
Then quickly tap tap tap

174
00:06:53.271 --> 00:06:54.421
And wipe it

175
00:06:54.421 --> 00:06:56.821
In the case of swimming or saunas

176
00:06:56.821 --> 00:06:59.021
as you have soak the whole body

177
00:06:59.021 --> 00:07:00.721
If the wound area gets wet

178
00:07:00.721 --> 00:07:03.271
It tends to swell and gradually widen

179
00:07:03.271 --> 00:07:05.921
So it's possible after about a month

180
00:07:05.921 --> 00:07:07.971
In the case of light makeup

181
00:07:07.971 --> 00:07:11.521
It's okay about a week after removing the stitches

182
00:07:11.521 --> 00:07:15.621
It's good to avoid rubbing anything to stimulate the area


183
00:07:15.621 --> 00:07:19.521
Even intense exercise or neck stretching

184
00:07:19.521 --> 00:07:22.021
Is better to postpone it for a month

185
00:07:22.021 --> 00:07:26.321
If you stopped taking medication before the surgery

186
00:07:26.321 --> 00:07:29.321
You can go back to it after the 3rd day

187
00:07:29.821 --> 00:07:34.621
Dyeing or perming your hair is possible after a month

188
00:07:34.771 --> 00:07:36.571
When can the patient start taking showers?

189
00:07:36.571 --> 00:07:39.471
It's okay to lightly shower after removing the stitches

190
00:07:39.471 --> 00:07:43.871
But if you rub the wound directly or feel like it could cause harm

191
00:07:43.871 --> 00:07:45.821
It's better to postpone for a month

192
00:07:45.821 --> 00:07:49.471
It's better to avoid bumping or touching 

193
00:07:49.471 --> 00:07:50.771
the surgical area

194
00:07:50.771 --> 00:07:52.621
Even by just an accident 

195
00:07:52.621 --> 00:07:53.871
bump

196
00:07:53.871 --> 00:07:55.521
If could bleed

197
00:07:55.521 --> 00:07:57.321
And could lead to hematoma

198
00:07:57.321 --> 00:08:00.321
Then, in the wounds that have almost healed

199
00:08:00.321 --> 00:08:02.321
You may need to perform a disinfecting procedure again

200
00:08:02.321 --> 00:08:03.821
So just be careful!

201
00:08:03.821 --> 00:08:08.771
Q. Is it normal to have no feeling in the face after surgery?

202
00:08:08.771 --> 00:08:11.771
I often hear people say “it feels like someone else's skin”

203
00:08:11.771 --> 00:08:13.871
That should be the case

204
00:08:13.871 --> 00:08:16.721
Because the skin was flipped like this

205
00:08:16.721 --> 00:08:19.321
The sensory nerves that were passing through like this

206
00:08:19.321 --> 00:08:20.571
Were completely cut off!

207
00:08:20.571 --> 00:08:22.471
However, the sensory nerves

208
00:08:22.471 --> 00:08:24.220
For the most part, 

209
00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:27.420
they come back within a month or three months

210
00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:30.020
It would be great if you remember that they will definitely come back

211
00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:32.220
There are some phenomena that occur during the process of them coming back

212
00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:34.220
Even though I didn't touch or feel anything

213
00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:36.520
Sometimes it feels tingling

214
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.420
Sometimes it feels like something is crawling

215
00:08:39.420 --> 00:08:41.820
Your sensory nerves are gradually returning

216
00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:44.270
Think of it as your sensory nerves are doing tests as they regenerate

217
00:08:44.270 --> 00:08:46.070
So don't worry too much

218

219
00:08:48.970 --> 00:08:51.920
Becoming younger and prettier

220
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:52.920
Is a difficult process

221
00:08:53.420 --> 00:08:56.120
Please be aware of the precautions that I mentioned earlier

222
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.920
If you follow them well

223
00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:01.370
You can recover well without any problems

224
00:09:01.370 --> 00:09:03.520
If you have any more questions, please leave a comment

225
00:09:03.520 --> 00:09:06.320
I will directly respond to them

226
