Cold & Hot Therapy
Reduce Post-Op Swelling & Bruising, Soothe Traumatized Skin
See full product line
Cool off in the Cold & Hot Therapy department of the Store where you may find a wide variety of specialized product solutions for treating post-operative swelling and bruising. The department includes specialized cold and hot facial compresses, and face and eye masks that can effectively provide both cold and hot therapy to swollen and bruised areas (eye area, crows feet, upper cheeks, and outer corners of the nose). As the surgery causes post-operative swelling and bruising to take shape, cold and hot therapy is needed to help reduce these symptoms. Cold therapy is very effective for reducing swelling, relieving sensations of pain, and accelerating the healing process. Hot therapy helps break down and disintegrate bruising discolorations and provides moisture or dry heat to areas of discomfort. Hot therapy can also be soothing on sore eye tissues that have been tightened or cut.
Elevation & Wedge Pillows
Keep Swelling Down, Lower Stress On Body, Promote Optimal Circulation To Healing Areas
See full product line
Transform your resting area into the perfect recovery nest by visiting the Recovery & Comfort Pillows floor of the Store, where you can find elevation and wedge pillows that are specially designed with an incline to provide proper alignment and to keep your affected swollen facial areas comfortably elevated in a 45 degree angle that helps reduce swelling. Elevation enables optimal blood circulation to all the vital healing areas. Many patients find bed wedges to be a superior and more comfortable elevation solution compared to putting oneself above pillows on a bed. The advantages of wedges compared to pillows are that they are sturdy, you do not have to worry about slipping off as you would with pillows, you have far less tension and stress on your body, and you do not have to periodically rearrange the wedge as you would with pillows that shift around and fall.

See full product line
Minimize the appearance of your scars by biking to the Scar Healing & Apperance Improvement floor of the Store, where you can find scar healing creams, silicone gels and ointments, and silicone sheets that are specially designed to improve the healing of your scars and help in scar reduction. These scar reduction products can help flatten, soften and smoothen the scar, limit scar growth and size, and reduce scar thickness. These scar treatments can also lessen redness surrounding the scar, reduce the discomfort of itching that can occur along the scar lines, and help maintain the skin’s moisture balance and elasticity of adjacent skin. Scar healing products can be effective and have benefits for months following a cosmetic procedure.
Comfort Pillows
Maximize Comfort While Resting, Avoid Muscle Tension & Body Aches
To help you rest and heal in style, the Recovery & Comfort Pillows aisle features a wide variety of pillows that can maximize your comfort and help you avoid muscle tension and aches during the healing journey. Due to the need to rest and sleep (often in an elevated position) during the initial phase of recovery, having to remain in the same position for long periods of time causes patients to experience all kinds of muscle tension and aches in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, arms, buttocks, knees, and legs. This leads to patients having difficulties resting and sleeping properly during the recovery and is a cause for frustration. Fortunately, there are some special comfort pillows that are specifically designed to reduce tension and discomfort when resting and to help you have the pain-free rest that is crucial to healing. These products include anything from a u-shaped pillow, and leg separator, to knee and leg wedges and lifts.
Skin & Sun Protection Hats
Protect Skin, Incisions/Sutures From Sun, Hide Scars, Prevent Aging & Wrinkles
See full product line
Get some protection at the Skin & Sun Protection Hats area of the Store where you can find a wide array of stylish, sophisticated yet medical sun block/protection hats that block 90-99% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays and can be used both following surgery to protect your skin and scar lines as well as part of your daily anti-aging routine to help you prevent wrinkles, aging, and other damaged caused by the sun. Recommended and endorsed by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aestheticians, these hats come in a variety of brim sizes, exciting colors, and exotic designs. The hats are ideal for post-surgery patients wishing to protect their investments by using the hat to hide suture and fresh scar lines and post-operative bruising following a facial cosmetic procedure (i.e. facelift, eyelid surgery/blepharoplaty, etc.). Protecting yourself from the sun is crucial, as sun exposure can prolong the period your scar remains red and may cause scars to hyperpigment and darken. Additionally, this hat is highly effective for protecting the sensitive skin of patients who have undergone procedures such as a chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing.
Corrective & Camouflage Makeup
Hide Bruises Of All Colors, Camouflage Fresh & Mature Scars, Redness, Swelling Distortions, Lumps & Bumps
See full product line
Powder your nose in the Corrective & Camouflage Makeup area, where you can find great, tried-and-tested, and well-known brands of corrective and camouflage makeup (concealers, corrective & camouflage cream, foundation, powders, and makeup removers) that can be used to hide certain symptoms (bruising discolorations, swelling, scar lines, and lumps & bumps) that continue to remain on the eye area, crows feet, upper cheeks, and outer corners of the nose after you have to return to the outside world.
Bath Safety Accessories
Shower Comfortably, Effortlessly & Safely Without Risk Of Slipping Or Falling
See full product line
Shampoo your way to the Bath Safety Accessories area where you can find accessories that can help you make your shower or bath “healing-proof”. Accessories such as a non-slip shower mat, bath/shower bench or chair, and handheld showerhead can help minimize the risk of slipping or falling down in the shower/bath during the early phase of recovery when you may be feeling low on energy, tired, and drowsy from the trauma of the surgery, anesthesia, and pain medications that you may be taking. Instead of standing and endangering your safety, having a seat in the shower and placing a non-slippery mat in the shower are tried-and-tested tips that veterans recommend to practice until your energy level is restored to normal. Beyond safety, these accessories can make your showering experience easier and help you prevent making healing-unfriendly movements that may worsen symptoms such as swelling and bruising.
