Is it critical to have the pre-operation appointment for breast reduction surgery, at most, two days before surgery?

Hello and thank you for your question.I see my patients for pre-op 1 to 2 weeks prior to surgery. Consents are signed. labs are reviewed and post-op instructions given. You will be marked the day of surgery.  You may see a nurse and/or surgeon at your 1st visit after surgery. If you have any questions or concerns contact your surgeon for guidance. Best of luck!

It really doesn’t matter when the preoperative appointment is and surgeons vary on their routine. Also not all surgeons place their markings at the time of the preop. If the markings were to come off in the shower the surgeon can always remark you the morning if surgery.
