Holly Brown, Looking & Feeling Fab

“This client had a double mastectomy at the end of November and then had emergency necrosis surgery December 14 – 3 weeks after the mastectomy. Her skin died during surgery so they closed the wounds quickly so she would not be as susceptible to infection. She is allergic to a lot of antibiotics and sulfa medications so she cannot use any topicals with sulfa. That was an issue after her surgery. They used nitroglycerin paste on it but the damage was already done and did not help her.

She met Holly Brown, founder of Looking and Feeling FAB and began using essential oils, NeoGenesis Recovery serum and Barrier Renewal Cream. The plastic surgeon was in total shock about her recovery and how well she has done, and wanted to get started with her reconstructive surgeries.

She had her pre-op with her surgeon and he said since things are looking so good they may not need to cut her chest muscles and may just be able to put the expanders over the area. She continued on the products so her skin was prepared for the reconstructive surgery, using on both the breast area and hip area. She was also getting liposuction from her hips so they can take some of the fat and graft it to the right side to try to get a smoother transition.

One week post surgery, the doctors were impressed with the healing of her scarring, they wanted her back on the NeoGenesis products 2 weeks post surgery. Her doctor’s felt the quality of her recovery has been improved by NeoGenesis products.

She had her 3 month follow up with her plastic surgeon last week and they are very happy with how everything looks.” – AS

A double mastectomy surgery is a procedure where both breasts are removed to treat or prevent breast cancer. This type of surgery can lead to complications such as developing necrosis, which is the death of skin and tissue due to lack of blood flow. Necrosis can be a result of the incision site not receiving enough oxygen and nutrients during the healing process.

To prevent or reduce the risk of developing necrosis after double mastectomy surgery, it is essential to strengthen and support the skin pre and post surgery. This is where NeoGenesis Recovery serum and Barrier Renewal Cream come in. The stem cell release molecules in the Recovery serum provide vital nutrients to the skin, while the Barrier Renewal Cream restores hydration and supports the skin’s natural barrier function.

Together, these two products can accelerate the healing process and reduce scarring after a double mastectomy surgery. They also help to strengthen the skin, making it more resilient and better able to handle the stress of surgery. By using these products before and after surgery, patients can support their skin’s health and minimize the risk of complications such as necrosis. It is essential for those undergoing double mastectomy surgery to take care of their skin during this time, and the use of NeoGenesis products can help make the healing process smoother and more comfortable. We highly recommend incorporating these two products into your post-surgery skincare routine for optimal results. With proper care and support, you can have healthier, stronger skin after a double mastectomy surgery.
