Fueling Recovery: Best Foods for a Strong Post-Surgery Recovery

At Leesang Services LLC, we believe that healing after plastic surgery goes far beyond medical care—what you eat plays a powerful role in how your body recovers. That’s why we created this guide to help you fuel your body with foods that accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and support your immune system.

If you’re prepping for surgery or already on the mend, here’s how to nourish your body every step of the way.


🥤 Hydration & Healing Nutrition

Hydration is essential to recovery. It helps regulate temperature, flush toxins, and support tissue repair. Sip on:

  • Coconut water – natural electrolytes

  • Herbal teas – calming and hydrating (try chamomile or peppermint)

  • Infused water – add lemon, cucumber, or berries

  • Clear broths – rich in minerals, gentle on the stomach

💪 Proteins for Healing

Protein supports tissue repair and helps you regain strength. Good sources include:

  • Eggs, cottage cheese, protein shakes/bars

  • Fish (rich in omega-3s), chicken, or turkey

  • Nut butters and low-sodium deli meat


🥗  Whole Foods That Power Recovery

🌾 Whole Grains & Fiber-Rich Foods

Constipation is a common side effect of pain medications. Whole grains keep digestion moving:

  • Brown rice, whole wheat pasta, quinoa, oatmeal

  • Barley, sweet potatoes, whole-grain bread

🥑 Healthy Fats to Reduce Inflammation

Essential for cell health and fighting inflammation:

  • Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil

  • Nuts, seeds, and nut butters (almond, cashew)

🥕 Fruits & Vegetables for Immune Support

Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants:

  • Berries, citrus fruits, papaya, mango

  • Leafy greens, bell peppers, carrots

  • Fruit smoothies and applesauce for easy digestion

🌱 Low-Sodium & Keto Options

  • Opt for low-sodium soups and broths to prevent swelling

  • Keto recovery snacks: cheese, avocado, keto brownies, nuts


🌿 Anti-Inflammatory & Gut-Friendly Foods

🔥 Fight Inflammation Naturally

These healing foods calm your body from the inside:

  • Turmeric, ginger, garlic

  • Green tea, blueberries, pineapple juice

🧬 Boost Gut Health with Probiotics

A healthy gut strengthens the immune system and aids nutrient absorption:

  • Greek yogurt

  • Kefir

  • Bone broth (also great for collagen)

💊 Smart Supplementation (Under medical guidance)

  • Zinc – supports tissue repair

  • Vitamin C – essential for collagen production

  • Vitamin A & Iron – critical for immune support and healing, especially after blood loss
