Planning Your Makeover

Planning and preparing for your makeover can make a significant difference in the success of your surgery and recovery. Following your doctor's orders and recommendations is crucial, especially regarding types of medications and dosage. If you'd like more information on how to prepare, schedule a consultation and ask your surgeon about what you need to do for the specific procedure you're considering.

They prepared me so well. I had no unanswered questions.

Being in Good Health

Being in good health is important. You want to be as healthy as possible on the day of your surgery. If you have medical conditions that interfere with your health, be sure to discuss them with your doctor during your consultation. If something has come up after the consultation, call the office to discuss your new condition. If something arises on the day of the procedure, it is in your best interest to discuss the situation with your doctor before the procedure. No matter how excited you are to have your makeover, risking complications due to illness or injury can be dangerous.

Stop Smoking

If you smoke, you need to quit at least a month before surgery and continue cessation through the entire recovery process. Smoking can cause complications during surgery. Smoking constricts the blood vessels reducing the amount of oxygen delivery to your cells. Lack of oxygen rich blood flow diminishes your body's ability to heal and causes scars to mend poorly.

Medications

You will be asked to avoid over-the-counter medications that thin the blood causing difficulty in surgery. Your doctor will give you a list of the medications to avoid and the duration of cessation prior to your procedure.

Follow Doctor's Orders

Following your doctor's pre-operative instructions is very important. You may be asked to avoid drinking and eating the night before your surgery, as well as being asked to refrain from taking certain medications, vitamins or minerals. If you forget not to eat or drink, or if you have taken anything the doctor did not recommend, it is crucial that you inform the doctor before the procedure. Your safety is always of the utmost importance.

Preparing your home for recovery is very prudent. Your doctor can suggest many conveniences that may help you, depending on your procedure. If your mobility will be limited, it may be helpful to move objects from high shelves.

You will need someone to drive you home after your procedure, and we also recommend having someone stay with you for the first day or two after surgery.

Healing

Your doctor may prescribe medications to alleviate pain and to help with the healing process. Be sure to follow the prescriptions exactly and completely. You will be given contact information to help you answer any questions or concerns during your recovery process.
