Advanced IV Hydration

Conveniently located to serve Seattle and Bellevue

At RP Plastic Surgery, we understand the importance of a holistic approach to plastic surgery to enhance post-operative recovery. When a person has nutritional deficiencies prior to surgery this can directly impact their surgical outcome. Therefore, RP plastic surgery offers advanced intravenous hydration, vitamin and micronutrient therapies specifically designed to improve your body’s natural healing processes. The infusions assist in surgical recovery by reducing inflammation, increasing immune function, reducing bleeding, increasing protein synthesis for collagen formation to minimize scarring and to decrease postoperative pain. The infusions are administered before and after your surgery, as an integral part of our commitment to your overall health and well-being.

IV therapy is much more effective than oral vitamins because your body is able to absorb a significantly larger amount of the nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Whereas, when you take the vitamin by mouth, much of the nutrients is lost to digestion. Due to this, you will feel the positive effects of the nutrients faster after your IV treatment.

The Importance of IV Hydration in Your Surgical Journey

Administering 1-2 IV hydration infusions before and after your surgery can significantly improve your recovery by rehydrating your body, increasing hemodynamic stability and decreasing postoperative nausea and vomiting to facilitate a smoother and quicker healing process.
