Effectiveness Study of MIST Therapy After Cosmetic Surgery Procedures of the Face and Body

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Cosmetic Surgery

In brief

A clinical trial to evaluate the effect of MIST Therapy on outcomes after cosmetic procedures(including facelifts, blepharoplasties, breast augmentations and reductions, mastopexies, and abdominoplasties) traditionally associated with pain, swelling, bruising, and scarring. The study will test the hypothesis that MIST Therapy can decrease the incidence and severity of these surgical sequelae throughout the acute and sub-acute phases of healing.
