Welcome to the world of plastic surgery! At Bright Plastic Surgery, we understand that preparing for a procedure can be both exciting and overwhelming. That’s why we want to make sure you have all the information you need to feel confident and informed before your surgery.
One of the most important things to keep in mind before your surgery is to follow the pre-op instructions carefully. These instructions are designed to ensure that your surgery goes as smoothly as possible and that you have the best possible outcome.
First and foremost, it is important to avoid any medications or supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory medications, as well as vitamin E, fish oil, and other supplements. Be sure to inform your surgeon of any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
You should also avoid alcohol and nicotine for at least 48 hours before your surgery, as it can increase the risk of bleeding and may affect your anesthesia.
It’s also important to eat a healthy, balanced diet leading up to your surgery. This will help your body to heal more quickly and efficiently after your procedure.
In addition, you should make sure to get plenty of rest before your surgery. This will help you to feel more energized and focused on the day of your procedure.
Finally, be sure to arrive at the facilities early on the day of your surgery to allow plenty of time for preparation and check-in.
We understand that preparing for surgery can be overwhelming, but with the pre-op instructions, you can rest assured that you are well-informed and well-prepared.
