Post-op scar treatment

Whether you're just starting your post-op journey or looking to improve an older scar, our specialists at VedaNu Wellness will guide you toward the right solution. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your healing progress and recommend the most effective treatment—or combination of treatments—for your skin. 

Breast augmentation consistently ranks as one of the highest-rated cosmetic procedures in patient satisfaction. With over 90% of women stating they would choose to have it again, it’s easy to see why. 

Top benefits include:

• A fuller, more youthful silhouette
• Improved breast symmetry
• Restoration of volume post-pregnancy or weight loss
• Enhanced confidence in and out of clothing
• A more proportionate body shape
• Better fit in swimsuits and tops

You may be a strong candidate for breast augmentation at VedaNu Wellness if you:

• Are in good physical and emotional health
• Are a non-smoker or willing to quit temporarily
• Are over 18 for saline implants or over 22 for silicone implants
• Have realistic expectations and are ready to enhance your body on your own terms
   

Many women seek breast augmentation to:

• Increase the size of naturally smaller breasts
• Restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Improve symmetry between uneven breasts
• Reconstruct breasts after surgery or trauma

At VedaNu Wellness, we offer a variety of ways to personalize your breast augmentation procedure to suit your body, your goals, and your aesthetic preferences. Your surgeon will guide you through each of the options below during your consultation:

Size

Implant sizes are measured in cubic centimeters (cc), typically ranging from 200cc to 600cc. Your ideal size depends on your frame, tissue elasticity, and desired outcome. During your consultation, we’ll help you visualize different sizes with real-time sizing tools and try-on sizers.

Type of Implant

We offer both saline and silicone implants—including gummy bear implants, which are known for their cohesive, form-stable gel. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water after placement, while silicone implants come pre-filled with a thick, gel-like material that mimics natural breast tissue.

Gummy bear implants hold their shape and are less prone to leakage, making them a popular option for patients seeking a firmer, more natural feel.

Placement

Implants can be placed:

• Under the muscle (submuscular) – for a more natural contour and reduced risk of visible rippling.
• Over the muscle (subglandular) – for patients with more natural tissue coverage, offering a slightly easier recovery.
   

Your surgeon will recommend the best option for your anatomy and goals.

Incision Location

There are three common incision locations:

• Inframammary – beneath the breast fold (most common and concealed)
• Periareolar – around the edge of the areola
• Transaxillary – through the underarm (less common)
   

Each method is designed to minimize visible scarring while allowing for precise placement.

Implant Shape

We offer round and anatomical (teardrop) shapes.
Round implants offer fullness in the upper breast and cleavage area, while teardrop implants mimic the natural slope of the breast and are often chosen for a more subtle, contoured look.

Implant Texture

Most implants used at VedaNu Wellness are smooth-surfaced, as they move more naturally with the body and have a lower complication rate. Textured implants are less commonly used but may be appropriate in specific cases.

Implant Profile

Profile describes the projection of the implant—how far it projects forward from the chest wall.

Options include:

• Low profile – flatter projection
• Moderate to moderate plus – balanced volume and projection
• High or ultra-high profile – more dramatic lift, often used for narrower chest widths
   

We’ll help you choose the best fit for your body and preferences.

Additional Procedures

While implants improve volume and fullness, they don’t correct significant sagging. In these cases, a breast lift (mastopexy) can be performed at the same time to elevate and reshape the breast, helping you achieve a more youthful contour.

We believe a successful surgical experience starts with careful preparation. Once you and your surgeon decide to move forward with your facelift, our team will provide you with personalized instructions and full pre-operative support.

Here are some general guidelines to prepare for surgery:

• Arrange for a trusted adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first night.
• Fast before surgery. If your procedure is scheduled for 8:00 AM, drink only water after midnight.
• Arrive at your surgical appointment with a clean face and hair — free of makeup, lotions, or products.
• Take time off from work and avoid social commitments for at least 10–14 days post-op.
• Follow all instructions related to medications, supplements, and activity restrictions before surgery.

Every facelift at VedaNu Wellness is tailored to you — your facial anatomy, aging patterns, and goals. Surgery may take anywhere from 90 minutes to 6 hours, depending on the technique used and whether additional procedures (like a neck lift or fat grafting) are performed at the same time.

Once anesthesia takes effect, your surgeon will begin by making discreet incisions around the ears and hairline. These incisions provide access to the SMAS layer — the deeper layer of facial tissue that controls sagging. By lifting, repositioning, and tightening this layer, your surgeon creates a firmer foundation that supports longer-lasting, natural-looking results.

They may also refine fat deposits or sculpt areas like the cheeks and jawline for enhanced volume and definition. Once the deeper work is complete, the skin is gently redraped over the newly sculpted contours. Any excess is removed, and incisions are closed with meticulous care.

Dressings are applied, and you’ll be moved to a comfortable recovery area where your care team will monitor you until you're ready to return home with your designated caregiver.

In some cases, microfat grafting is used to restore youthful fullness in areas where volume has diminished. We use your own fat — no synthetic fillers — for natural integration and long-lasting results.

Recovery after a facelift is a gradual process that occurs in stages. At VedaNu Wellness, we guide you every step of the way to ensure a smooth, comfortable healing journey. Patients should plan to rest, avoid strenuous activity, and take time off work and social obligations during the initial recovery period.

The First Few Days

In the first few days after surgery, you’ll wear a soft head wrap to help reduce swelling and support your healing tissue. Small drains may be placed behind the ears to remove excess fluid — your surgeon and care team will show you and your caregiver how to care for them properly.

You’ll return to our office for a post-op appointment within 1–2 days, where your surgeon will monitor your healing and remove or adjust bandages. Swelling, bruising, tightness, and numbness are all normal and most noticeable during this early period. Prescription pain medication will help manage discomfort.

To support your healing:

• Keep your head elevated with 2–3 pillows when resting or sleeping.
• Avoid smoking, alcohol, and driving for at least 5 days.
• Have a caregiver stay with you for assistance during this phase.
   

The Next Few Weeks

Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work within 10–14 days, and makeup can typically be worn again around this time. Bruising and swelling will continue to improve dramatically over the next several weeks.

By week 3 or 4, many patients feel ready for low-impact exercise and social engagements. Just be sure to:

• Avoid activities that significantly raise your heart rate or blood pressure until cleared by your surgeon.
• Continue wearing sunscreen and protect your skin from UV exposure during healing.
   

You’ll receive a full list of aftercare instructions tailored to your specific procedure. Our team is always here to answer your questions and ensure your recovery is safe, fast, and as comfortable as possible.

A facelift at VedaNu Wellness delivers natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation. While you’ll begin to see visible improvement immediately after surgery, your final results will continue to evolve over the next 6 to 12 months as swelling fully resolves and your skin settles into its refreshed contours.

Expect to look noticeably younger — and feel more confident — for many years to come.

To maximize results, many facelift patients choose to combine their procedure with additional enhancements. The most common complement is a neck lift, which smooths and tightens the area under the chin and jawline to create a more defined and youthful profile.

Other procedures frequently performed alongside a facelift include:

• Eyelid surgery – to brighten and open the eyes
• Brow lift – to elevate drooping brows and smooth forehead lines
• Nose reshaping – to improve facial harmony
• Fat grafting – to restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks or temples
• Chin or jawline augmentation – for enhanced structure and symmetry
   

If you're not ready for surgery, we also offer non-surgical facial rejuvenation options such as Botox®, dermal fillers, laser treatments, microneedling, and chemical peels — all of which can help extend or refine the results of your facelift.

During your consultation, we’ll work with you to determine the ideal combination of treatments to achieve your goals with balance and precision.

Facelift pricing at VedaNu Wellness varies depending on:

• The surgical technique used
• Whether additional procedures are performed
• Your personalized treatment plan
   

After your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed estimate that reflects your exact goals and the surgical strategy we recommend. We also offer financing options for those who qualify, making it easier to invest in yourself with confidence.
