Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level lasers to stimulate healing and reduce pain and inflammation. In the context of breast augmentation, laser therapy may be used as a complementary treatment to help reduce postoperative pain and swelling and speed up the healing process.
After breast augmentation surgery, patients may experience pain, swelling, and bruising, which can make it difficult to perform normal activities. Laser therapy can help alleviate these symptoms by increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair.
LLLT is typically performed using a handheld device that emits low-level lasers onto the treatment area. The treatment is painless and typically takes only a few minutes per session. The number of sessions required will depend on the individual patient's needs and the extent of their postoperative symptoms.
It's important to note that while laser therapy can help alleviate some of the symptoms of post breast augmentation surgery, it should not be used as a substitute for proper postoperative care, which should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional. If you are considering laser therapy as a complementary treatment for post breast augmentation symptoms, it's important to consult with your plastic surgeon or another qualified healthcare professional to determine if it's a safe and appropriate option for you.
