Do I Need IV Therapy?

---

After any surgery–whether a cosmetic surgery or an emergency surgery–everyone hopes for a safe and speedy recovery. IV therapy is an innovative and effective treatment for postoperative care that helps promote healing. IV therapy or intravenous therapy infuses liquid substances directly into the veins.

When it comes to surgery recovery, high concentrations of nutrients such as vitamin C are administered through the bloodstream in order to promote healing and speed up the recovery process.

IV Therapy Versus Supplements

Many people may wonder, Why can’t I just take pills or supplements instead? Although you can choose to take pills or supplements instead, you will not be able to receive the necessary amount of vitamins and nutrients you will need in order to safely and significantly promote the healing process. Believe it or not, your body needs 100 times more vitamin C than usual after your surgery. So, administering vitamin C through IV therapy is much more safe and effective than through a pill.

Is IV Therapy Safe?

Absolutely! IV therapy has been safely and effectively administered by physicians for decades. So, there is little-to-no health risks with this type of therapy. However, like with every type of treatment, there are some possible side effects to IV therapy. These side effects may include headaches, dizziness, arm pain at the infusion site, muscle cramps, lowered blood pressure, and lowered blood sugar. Fortunately, these side effects are rare and can be prevented with proper preparation and experienced staff members.

Should I Choose IV Therapy?

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide if IV therapy is right for you. However, if you are looking for a safe and speedy way to promote the healing process after your surgery, IV therapy may be the best solution for you! Feel free to consult with your physician to learn more about IV therapy and to discover if it is the right option for your postoperative care.
