Why Is Physical Therapy So Important After Hand Surgery?

“Doctor’s orders” is a phrase that everyone is a little too familiar with, but just because Dr. Weinstein tells you to do so something, should you do it? If you have to undergo hand surgery from Dr. Larry Weinstein, he may recommend that you go to physical therapy as part of your recovery plan. So, why is rehabilitation so important and why should you take Dr. Weinstein’s word for it? Let’s take a closer look.

Get Back What You Started With

Your hand is composed of so many intricate nerves, tendons, bones, and muscles that it makes hand surgery very complex. As such, physical therapy can help your hand gain back the functionality, range of motion, and movement that you need to get the most out of your surgical results. Basically, physical therapy can help you get back what you started with before you were injured.

Take Some Techniques Home

One of the biggest reasons that you should go to physical therapy after hand surgery is to learn how to do certain hand exercises and techniques at home. Once your physical therapist teaches you a new hand exercise or stretch, it’s your responsibility to practice it every day at home in order to get the best results possible.

It Speeds Up Recovery

A speedy recovery is what everyone hopes for after hand surgery. One of the best ways to make sure your recovery goes as quickly and smoothly as possible is to go to physical therapy as often as recommended.

If Dr. Weinstein encourages you to go to physical therapy as part of your recovery, it’s in your best interest to do so. To learn more about hand surgery in general or to schedule a consultation, contact our Chester office today and call us at 908-879-2222.

Is a Liquid Facelift Actually Worth It?

When you start to notice signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of collagen and volume in your skin, it can seem like it’s all you think about. And although there are small fixes that we can make, you may want to consider a liquid facelift. But because liquid facelifts are temporary, it has a lot of people wondering if they’re worth it. Let’s take a closer look.

It Doesn’t Require Surgery

A lot of patients choose to undergo a liquid facelift instead of a traditional one because it doesn’t require any surgery or downtime. And, if you live a busy life and have a full schedule, the last thing you have time to do is lay in bed for a couple of weeks. With a liquid facelift, you can come into our office on your lunch break and then go right back to work.

It Works

If it’s results you are looking for, then you can get them with a liquid facelift. Depending on how severe your fine lines and wrinkles are will help us determine just how good of results you will get. But, Dr. Larry Weinstein will ensure that you get the best results possible. Even if it means that you have to come back in for a few touch-ups.

It’s Affordable

Although Botox and fillers aren’t exactly cheap, they are a lot more affordable than a surgical facelift. Plus, depending on how much you get and what types of fillers you get, a liquid facelift can last the upwards of a year which means that you don’t have to spend too much money very often.

Having a more youthful looking complexion doesn’t always require surgery. If you want to learn more about a liquid facelift and whether or not it’s right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Larry Weinstein at our Chester office today and call us at 908-879-2222.
