We know that sleep after surgery can become broken, lighter, and sometimes non-existent 💤

Whilst it is common to experience changes to your sleep, your body is healing, your routine can change, and discomfort can make it more difficult to rest, but there are small steps you can take to try and improve your sleep.

Keeping a simple routine, creating a calm environment, and giving yourself time to adjust can all make a difference, and even if your sleep isn’t perfect, rest still supports your recovery.

This guidance comes from Dr Katherine Malcolm, Head of Sleep Medicine at UCSF, as featured on the BLOOM⁴³ Prehab™ app.

Making decisions about breast reconstruction is not always straightforward 🍒

As Consultant Plastic Surgeon and BLOOM⁴³ app contributor, explains, implant reconstruction can offer a shorter procedure and, in some cases, a quicker recovery. But every patient’s situation, preferences, and goals are different.

We know that during a consultation with your consultant, it can feel overwhelming. There is often a lot of information to take in, and it is not always easy to process everything in the moment or remember it later.

This is one of the reasons we build the BLOOM⁴³ app. Using BLOOM⁴³, you can access evidence-based guidance on breast reconstruction options, so you can revisit information, understand your choices, and feel more confident in your decisions throughout your surgical journey.

This , the theme is “Together for health. Stand with science”.

In the spirit of a day focused on health, here at BLOOM⁴³ we are reflecting on the science of Prehab™, preparing for surgery, and how preparation can help optimize recovery outcomes.

While there are many ways to prepare, four key areas consistently shape outcomes:
🥗 Nutritional preparation
🧠 Mental preparation
🍒 Physical preparation
💡 Knowledge building

Together, these form the foundation of Prehab™: preparing the body and mind in a structured, research-backed way before surgery.

At BLOOM⁴³, this is delivered through the BLOOM⁴³ app, helping patients take practical steps grounded in clinical evidence before and after surgery.

Nutrition can feel like another thing to “get right” before breast surgery, but it doesn’t need to be complicated 🥗

In this clip, Laura Powell (.pixel.nurse), Plastic Surgery Nurse Specialist and BLOOM⁴³ app contributor, shares how she approaches this with patients.

Protein plays an important role in healing, but if your appetite drops, especially around surgery, the focus shifts. Eating what you can, when you can, and getting enough calories and fluids becomes just as important.

That might look like small, familiar foods, or even your favourite takeaway.

Supporting someone through breast surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when you want to help but aren’t sure how 🤷

🍲 Preparing nourishing meals or easy-to-cook options
🛒 Helping with grocery runs or medication pick-ups
🚗 Driving to appointments and check-ups
💙 Making time for his own wellbeing, too

Sometimes, helping with the everyday things is the greatest form of emotional support.

Wound discharge after breast surgery is a normal part of healing ❤️‍🩹

You might notice:
• Clear or straw-coloured fluid
• Pink-tinged or red discharge
• Wetness, itchiness, or tightness around the wound

This is most common in the first few days to weeks after surgery, and should gradually decrease as your wounds heal.

Contact your medical team if you notice:
• A sudden increase in discharge
• Bright red or increasing volume
• Foul-smelling discharge
• Increasing pain, redness, swelling, or fever
• Wounds opening or separating

Meet Irum, one of the first patients to use the BLOOM⁴³ Prehab™ platform to prepare for breast surgery 💙

At nearly 40 years old, Irum underwent a breast biopsy after noticing changes to her normal. Following inconclusive results, she was scheduled for surgery, leaving her feeling anxious and unprepared.

After discovering BLOOM⁴³, Irum used the app to guide her preparation and the wearable medical device the night before her surgery to precondition her skin.

💬 “It was comfortable, convenient, and helped me feel confident and prepared. My healing was smooth, with no bruising and a barely visible scar — such a positive experience compared to previous surgeries.”

Irum’s experience reflects how preparation can positively impact recovery. Not only did Irum feel more prepared going into her procedure, but she was also able to reduce her wound healing complications by preconditioning her skin utilizing supraphysiological preconditioning™️.

If you are based in the U.S. and are preparing for surgery and want to use BLOOM⁴³, download the free BLOOM⁴³ app from the App Store or Google Play to order. Our medical device is HSA and FSA eligible.

We’re working hard to make the BLOOM⁴³ Prehab™ platform accessible to everyone across the globe.
