Is it too late at pre-op to change your mind about a particular procedure?

Thank you for your question.  It is ok at any time to change your mind about an elective procedure.  Call your surgeons office or set up another appointment to talk further.

It is never too late to change your opinion/mind about what
procedure you will personally be undergoing.That being said, you should keep in mind that on the day of surgery,
people’s nerves tend to “kick in” and can lead to changes that one may not
otherwise have considered.That being said, if there is any doubt in your mind with
regards to the procedure that you are about to undergo, my strong advice is to
postpone/cancel.I wish you the best of
luck.

Hi.  It's far better to put the brakes on now - pre-op - than to go through with surgery and be disappointed later.  Speak up, and tell your surgeon about your concerns.New implants can be Fed-Ex'ed overnight to the practice.  Not a big deal.

If you are unsure of your decision about your upcoming surgery I urge you to speak with your surgeon right away. Last minute changes cannot always be accommodated as procedures take careful preparation including reserving the operating room for a given amount of time. You will also want to give yourself proper time to understand your options including risks and benefits before making a final decision. The pre op appointment is not the ideal time to do this if you are aware beforehand that you may want to change your mind.

It is best to go over this with your doctor. It becomes more of an issue if it is very close to you surgical date.  Getting implants may be tough.
