Answer: Preparing for Tummy Tuck and BBL Thank you for your question. If you are a smoker, you will be asked to stop smoking well in advance of surgery. Aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can cause increased bleeding, so you should avoid taking these medications for a period of time before surgery. We will ask you to stop some medications, supplements and certain vitamins. A complete list will be provided.

Answer: Preparing for a Tummy Tuck Pre operative considerations and preparation are certainly an important part of a successful operation. Just as a pilot and flight crew review "checklists" together to ensure that all elements of the aircraft and crew are prepared for the take off and subsequent flight, so to should patients be prepared for surgery before entering the operating room.If you are scheduled with a board certified plastic surgeon then he or she would have discussed with you the possible risks and benefits of surgery and gone over your preoperative care plan. This often includes a medical exam to assess for any medical conditions which would increase your chances for post operative complications such as smoking history and counseled you to stop after explaining why smoking can negatively impact your care. Other conditions such as diabetes would need to be evaluated and under good control before you proceeded with surgery.In terms of skin preparation, usually good hygiene is discussed and recommended prior to surgery and discussions with your plastic surgeon to cover this aspect of your pre operative care can be helpful to avoid any confusion and ensure that you have done your "checklist" before take off.

Answer: Preparing for tummy tuck and bbl Hello, the best source of advice for your postop care is your own plastic surgeon. In many cases you will not even have an open wound that requires any treatment. Many surgeons seal the wound closed with skin adhesive, and others apply surgical tapes (like Steri-strips). If there is no open wound you will not need to apply any ointment.
