Perioperative antibiotics as well as pain control are important measures during surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Really, it varies from Dr. to Dr., from anesthesiologist to anesthesiologist. Some teams may prescribe steroids, others not, some nausea patches, some not, some sublingual Zofran, some not, some Percocet, some Vicodin. I would first choose your surgeon based on your rapport with him or her, and his or her skills and reputation. Then, focus on the smaller details like the medications etc.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
Thanks much for reaching out. Antibiotics are typically given before the first incision is made. I don't typically send my patients home on anabiotic's and a narcotic painkiller. I also put them on a blood thinner for two weeks to decrease the chance of blood clots.
I usually give patients some pain meds, antibiotics, and anti-nausea meds. I have them a also take some vitamins. You are best to ask your doc because each one may have a different protocol.
You will have to discuss this with your surgeon as your surgeon may not want you to be smoking marijuana prior to surgery.
Thank you for your question. The average of BBL patients can return to an "office job" that does not involve sweat or load weight to 02 weeks p.o. If it is a job that involves activity or heavy lifting, i recommend returning to work a month after p.o. to prevent surgery damage. Kind regardsDr. ...
I hope you will be fully recovered prior to your surgery date. If not and you are running a fever with a productive cough the surgery should be delayed. Make your plastic surgeon aware of your current medical condition.
