Body Image

At Advanced Wound, Ostomy & Continence Care, from wounds to wellness, we recognize that body image is more than skin deep—it’s about how you see yourself and how confident you feel in daily life. Health conditions, surgeries, or ongoing changes in the body can significantly impact self-image, sometimes leading to emotional distress, avoidance of social activities, or even diminished quality of life. Our goal is to provide compassionate, holistic care that not only supports physical healing but also empowers patients to regain confidence in their appearance and abilities.
Body image challenges often arise after medical events such as ostomy surgery, wound care treatment, or other procedures that alter the body’s appearance. For some patients, visible changes in the skin, scars, or use of medical devices can feel overwhelming and difficult to adjust to. This can affect self-esteem, relationships, and even overall health if patients avoid necessary treatments due to embarrassment or fear.
How We Support Patients with Body Image Concerns
Our team takes a personalized and empathetic approach, combining clinical expertise with emotional support. We provide education and practical strategies to help patients adapt to changes in their body, including guidance on clothing, lifestyle adjustments, and discreet use of medical devices. We also offer access to advanced treatments, therapies, and resources designed to improve not only physical comfort but also the way patients feel about themselves.
