Post-Surgical Care
Specialized Wound Support During Surgical Recovery
Book a Post-Surgical Consultation
Most surgical incisions heal without difficulty. When an incision opens, drains, heals slowly, or develops another wound concern, additional wound expertise may be helpful between surgical follow-up visits.
Prodigy provides specialized post-surgical wound evaluation, treatment, education, and follow-up while supporting continuity with the surgical team.
When Post-Surgical Wound Care May Be Helpful
- Delayed incision healing
- Surgical wound separation or dehiscence
- Persistent drainage
- Areas of tissue breakdown
- Complex dressing needs
- Skin injury related to adhesives or dressings
- Wounds requiring ongoing assessment after surgery
- Difficulty managing wound care at home
Support During Recovery
Comprehensive Wound Assessment
The evaluation includes the surgical wound, surrounding tissue, drainage, healing progress, and factors that may affect recovery.
Individualized Wound Care Plan
Treatment recommendations are based on current clinical findings and the wound's needs. Recommendations may change as healing progresses.
Patient and Caregiver Education
Clear guidance is provided for home wound care, dressing changes, warning signs, and when to contact the surgeon or seek urgent medical attention.
Collaboration With the Surgical Team
When appropriate, Prodigy can communicate clinical findings and wound care recommendations with the surgeon and other healthcare professionals involved in recovery.
Post-Cosmetic Surgical Wound Support
Specialized wound consultation is available for patients who develop wound concerns following cosmetic or reconstructive procedures. Care is focused on wound healing, practical home-care guidance, and appropriate communication with the surgical team. Examples may include wound concerns following:
- Abdominoplasty
- Breast procedures
- Body contouring
- Liposuction-related procedures
- Other cosmetic or reconstructive procedures
Prodigy wound services support recovery and do not replace routine postoperative follow-up with the operating surgeon.
