Compression Therapy in Jaipur | Post Reconstructive Recovery and Scar Management by Dr. Sushrut Kalra
After major reconstructive surgery, whether that's a tissue transfer, skin graft, or body contouring procedure, the body naturally experiences some swelling as part of the healing process. Compression therapy helps manage this swelling using specially designed garments that apply gentle, consistent pressure, supporting healthier, more comfortable healing.
Dr. Sushrut Kalra provides customized compression therapy protocols in Jaipur, since a newly transferred tissue flap, a fresh skin graft, or a body contouring area each need a different level and type of compression. The right garment and pressure level are selected specifically for your procedure and healing stage.
