There is lots of discussion on what can be taken to expedite the healing process, however we do not recommend anything specific during your recovery period. There is minimal bruising postoperatively and the pain is defused with the medications that are provided for you by Ocean Plastic Surgery Center. If you have a vitamin regiment that works for you mention it to the doctor prior to surgery and chances are you will be free to continue taking the products you are already comfortable with.

Absorption may vary with individuals and types of medication. Certain drug problems may arise depending on the type of ostomy you have and the medications you are taking. Make sure all your healthcare providers know the type of ostomy you have and the location of the stoma. This information will help your pharmacist and other healthcare providers monitor your situation (i.e., time-released and enteric coated medications may pass through the system of ileostomates too quickly to be effective).

It is also very important to let your AIM-HIGH doctor know if another doctor prescribes any new medications or changes/stops any current medications.

The number one answer by far is to stop feeding my system excessive sugar. Beyond that, a good choice for healing bacterial infections is to use an antibiotic ointment or cream on the wound. The same holds true for acne sores. I buy a tube of triple antibiotic ointment available without a doctor's prescription. Then I use it in huge gobs rather than a thin smear, and I don't cover with anything like gauze or a bandage which will absorb the ointment instead of allowing it to work. See similar questions...

HairGenesis? is an extremely safe formulation. Typically, this product should cause no difficulties with any other dietary or vitamin or mineral supplement. Furthermore, although HairGenesis? should not interfere with any of your prescription medications, for the definitive medical opinion on medical questions of this nature, we recommend that you consult your treating physician.

Combining supplements will not normally interfere with the way they work and in some cases may be beneficial. OPC Factor is a high-quality, liquid multivitamin and mineral product and is best for all-round supplementation because it delivers nutrients in the right balance. Water soluble vitamins such as the B group vitamins and vitamin C can't be stored by the body. So if you take in more than your body needs, they are simply excreted. See similar questions...

Research from Dietch et. al. and others have demonstrated the need to speed healing to avoid the formation of hypertrophic scars. Dietch found that a burn wound that takes 21 days or more to heal has a 70% or greater risk of developing a significant scar. A burn wound that heals in less than 10 days has only a 4% risk of developing scar hypertrophyxv. Wounds that takes longer to heal increase the need for hospitalisation and the overall costs of treatment. See similar questions...

A. The pain protocol just described essentially stops pain and doubles healing speed. Over thirty years ago, Dr. Cheraskin created gum wounds in junior dental students. At 1,000 mg of vitamin C every morning and evening, wounds closed in seven days, instead of fourteen days. To further increase the speed of healing and reduce pain, ingest digestive enzymes. Taken at the time of trauma, enzymes halt the typical twenty-four hour cascading increase of inflammatory damage. See similar questions...

I recommend a healing ointment such as tamanu oil, A&D, or a product called Biafine that you can get at the pharmacy here in Moorea. I do not recommend antibiotic ointments such as Neosporin, as they produce a chemical reaction with the tattoo that actually makes it more painful. See similar questions...
