Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Erick Sanchez
Sourced directly from Dr. Erick Sanchez's social posts and replies.
What is Morpheus8 used for at Dr. Sanchez's practice?
Morpheus8 is used for treating hyperhidrosis. The procedure involves using the Morpheus tip, and a post-op care specialist like Catherine may operate the device.
What should I expect regarding constipation after surgery and how should I manage it?
Constipation after surgery is normal and can sometimes take up to a week to resolve, but you will eventually have a bowel movement. To help manage it, drink plenty of fluids and you can try warm prune juice, a suppository, or an enema. It's important NOT to use laxatives as they can work against pain medications and cause significant discomfort.
How do I properly apply my post-surgery binder?
Applying the binder can be complicated. Start by placing one part on first to hold it in place, specifically the first panel. Position the bottom panel very low over the incision and apply it very tightly. Then, place the middle panel on top of the first, also very tightly. Finally, the top panel can be undone and placed on top of the previously applied panels.
What are the instructions for post-surgical drain care?
After surgery, you will typically have two drains coming out of each hip. It's crucial to empty them daily, at least two to three times a day, and record the fluid amount using the numbers on the drains. Keep drains on suction at all times by squeezing them shut and putting the lid on; a flat drain indicates proper suction. If a drain isn't producing much fluid, it likely needs stripping: pinch where the drain exits and pull it down. This may release a blood clot, after which drainage should resume. Don't panic if one drain produces more fluid than the other, as this is completely normal. For mobility, you can clip the drains to the lanyard provided in your pre-op bag.
What should I know about wearing my faja and foam post-surgery?
You will wake up from surgery wearing a faja, and you might also have foam on your sides. This foam protects your skin from drains and helps contour your sides; keep it on, replacing it after showering. As swelling decreases throughout the week, you should tighten your faja to the second or third notch.
What are the general recovery recommendations for the day after surgery?
The day after surgery, it's important to get up and move around several times a day, but also ensure you get plenty of rest. Hydrate well by drinking lots of water and maintain good nutrition.
When and how can I shower after surgery?
You can shower 24 hours after your procedure. You may remove your surgical garment for showering. Allow any gauze on the surgical site to fall off naturally and then discard it. Let water run over your incisions without scrubbing them. After showering, pat all incisions dry and then put your surgical garment back on.
What are the fasting and oral hygiene instructions before surgery?
You must not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before surgery. You can brush your teeth the morning of surgery, but do not swallow any water. Avoid consuming gums, peppermints, or bubble gum before surgery.
What is the antibiotic protocol before and after surgery?
Take one antibiotic at any time the day before surgery. Do not take your antibiotic at all on the day of surgery. Begin taking your antibiotic three times a day starting the day after surgery.
What are the pre-operative cleansing instructions?
Two days before surgery, start washing thoroughly with Hibiclens, focusing on all areas where the surgeon will operate.
What pre-operative medications are recommended?
Two days before surgery, you should start taking a stool softener, such as Colace.
What are the general recommendations for two days before surgery?
Two days before surgery, ensure you are hydrating really well.
What should I review with my caretaker before surgery?
