Holistic Healing

In New Orleans

Because surgery involves creating trauma to your body in the form of incisions, cutting and replacing tissues, stitches, and more, it’s important to be in the best possible health before and after a procedure in order to promote the most effective healing possible. As a trusted New Orleans facial plastic surgeon Dr. Melancon provides her patients with detailed plans to promote post operative healing. Dr. Melancon believes that it’s vital to take a holistic approach to surgical healing with her patients. That is, she doesn’t simply focus on the part of the body that is to be operated on, but rather on promoting wellness throughout the body in order to ensure maximal healing. The entirety of the surgical experience with Dr. Melancon involves promoting mental wellbeing and physical healing before and after surgery.

For example, Dr. Melancon may recommend specific vitamin and mineral regimens to take in preparation for a surgical or non-surgical procedure. She may also recommend acupuncture or massage therapy pre- or post-surgery, as minimizing stress and anxiety can promote better healing. Dr. Melancon has specialized holistic regimens to promote wound healing, decrease swelling, promote skin and hair health, and several others. Come schedule a consultation today to discuss a good regimen for you. As Dr. Melancon creates a plan for you, she will include an array of recommendations that are meant to ensure that the healing process begins well before the surgery and continues afterward in order to create the best results possible.
