Dr. Cheraghipour explains the most important practical steps in the first days after discharge.
Adequate rest is foundational.
A ~45° angle helps reduce swelling.
Medications and follow-up visits matter.
No unsupervised massage or strenuous activity.
The first days are the most important for controlling swelling and healing quality.

If you don't have time to watch the video, you can read the complete conversation below.
First, you must follow the postoperative care instructions we provide very carefully, and in general you should take good care of your skin. Sunscreen creams and skin moisturizers are very influential.
Second is good and proper nutrition—multivitamins and good supplements, and in general a proper and of course comprehensive diet.
Third is exercise, because it causes elastin production in your skin, and not having stress.
Fourth is that smoking, hookah, and alcohol should not be consumed.
And the last point—which is actually more important than all of them—is that you should have chosen a very good and appropriate surgical technique for yourself, and a good surgeon who has good expertise and experience in this field.
Strict aftercare directly improves scar quality and final outcomes.
Typically 10–14 days of relative rest; strenuous activity resumes gradually after medical clearance.
