Do you recommend your patients to take Emend anti-nausea medication on the morning of facelift surgery?

I have usually been prescribed Zofran for after surgery nausea but some members of the facelift forum advise taking Emend tablet on the morning of surgery? It is VERY expensive at $150 for one pill and is not covered by my insurance. Surely the anti nausea meds in the IV during surgery, and the aftercare meds like Zofran will be enough? I did not feel nauseous after a previous bleph and rhinoplasty 10 years ago. Thanks in advance!
