Ask Dr. Man- Magnet Healing

Dear Dr. Man, My sister recently had a facelift at your office and looks great. When I visited her the day after her surgery, she was using magnets to speed up her healing. I couldn’t believe it when she told me you instructed her to do this. Please tell me more- I’m fascinated by this.

Thousands of people are choosing to undergo plastic surgery to look younger and thinner. Some people in the past have avoided plastic surgery because they fear the healing process; however, there is now a way to make plastic surgery even easier.

I have found a new and unusual way to help speed up recovery from procedures such as face lifts, eye lifts and neck lifts. Magnets can play a big part in recovery from surgery. The body has an interesting electro magnetic field; and sometimes what you see is loss of this field due to an injury. By putting a magnet next to the area that has been operated on, you re-establish the good electromagnetic field and there is less swelling, bruising and black and blue, especially in the face. I conducted a study involving 20 patients of my patients. Seventy percent of those patients reported healing faster by wearing magnetic patches after surgery.

Patients who have undergone magnetic therapy during the recovery period report give it rave reviews, saying that with the use of magnets, there is hardly any pain associated with recovering from a full face lift.

Many people fear face lifts and liposuctions and tummy tucks because of the pain after surgery. One of the reasons people have discomfort and pain after surgery is because of swelling- the swelling just stretches the tissue. But when you put the magnet next to the area that had the suction, for instance, or the face lift, what you see actually is that the swelling comes down. And that makes people more comfortable. Magnets are simple and inexpensive- prompting compliance with the doctor’s post-operative orders. Patients wear the magnets several hours a day, immediately following surgery.
If you’re considering plastic surgery, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to see if magnetic therapy is right for you.
