Plastic surgery can be a major operation and it can take a considerable amount of time for the body to recover. Invasive surgery, especially around the face, can cause a patient to feel self-conscious about their appearance if the procedure has caused a lot of bruising and swelling. Fortunately, aromatherapy oils can be used to help skin heal faster and even respond better to surgery.

As with many things, preparation is the key to success. Skin that has been pre-prepared with essential oils always gets better results from any surgery. Wounds and cuts heal faster, scar tissue is minimized, and the production of new, vigorous cells is accelerated. In the case of nose surgery, which is one of the most common operations, the bruise disappears much faster. Essential oils are highly antiseptic, acting to keep tissues healthy and stop any secondary infection.

It is recommended to use essential oils before and after surgery for maximum benefits.

Essential oils are most effective if used immediately after scars have formed, although the oil should be applied only around the scar until a scab forms. They can also help old scar tissue, although the process is much slower.
