Postoperative Care

Recovery Is Part of the Result

At Truffel Healthcare, your care does not end when surgery is over. A well-managed recovery is essential to smooth healing and to achieving the result you and Dr. Matwa planned together. Our dedicated aftercare team of nurses, healthcare assistants, and trained aftercare masseuses supports you at every stage.

Our postoperative care brings together professional lymphatic massage, compression therapy, ultrasonic cavitation, intravenous supplementation, and regular wound care, each tailored to your procedure and your progress.

Every follow-up is an opportunity to monitor your healing, manage comfort, and keep your recovery on track.

Good to Know

Your aftercare plan is tailored to your specific procedure and explained in full before surgery, so you always know what to expect.
