Its best to consult with your board-certified Plastic Surgeon beforehand. She or he will make suggestions according to your procedure and medical records in addition to discussing your pre-op preparations. Also, such may be provided for you with your pre-op material and prescriptions in time for your recovery period. You will learn more about preparing at your pre-op appointment.
Thevast majority of plastic surgeons give their patients extensive written pre andpostoperative instructions prior to surgery. These instructions may vary fromsurgeon to surgeon and depend upon multiple variables. Immediately prior tosurgery, it’s extremely important that patients meticulously follow theseinstructions. Onceyou’ve followed these directions, it’s important to get a good night’s sleep.Don’t eat or drink after midnight and take your regular medications as directedby your physician. Careful attention to these details will minimize yourpotential for complications and improve the quality of your overall experience.
Thank you for your question. I am sure that your surgeon (and his staff) have gone over what you can / cannot do prior to surgery at your preop appointment (which is normally a few weeks prior to the surgery). The day before, you need to make sure you have directions to the surgery center, confirm your ride, and do not eat/drink after midnight. Everything else should fall in place. Best Wishes!
