The Night Before Breast Reduction Surgery?

Anti bacterial soap shoulc becsafe to use butvis not necessary. After showering do not use moisturisers or deodorants the morning of surgery. Check to see when your surgeons allows you to shower and wah your hair,  I recommend waiting 48 hours. Before surgery you can wash and blow dry your hair.

   A good cleansing prior to breast reduction particularly within the breast folds and the armpits probably makes sense.  Soap and water is fine.  Use of other chemicals may be prohibited.  You must remember that you are cleansed thoroughly prior to surgery to reduce the risk of infection.

In my practice I ask my patients to wash with regular soap and water the morning of the surgery. They are not to use any body lotions, creams, deodorants, make up etc. Keep the body clean and plain. Blow dry and hair straightening is OK. Also remember to have nothing to eat or drink. Take your regular medication unless your doctor instructed you not to. If your medication says "take with food", DON'T take with food! (last week we had a patient have some food with her meds before surgery because the medication bottle said "take with food"!)

"Twas the night before breast surgery...."  Dial soap is probably OK. I usually give my patients a packet of info prior to surgery to review.  Blowing your hair shoudl be fine.

And you can certainly shower and blow dry your hair.  Follow your plastic surgeon's preop instructions.  Antibacterial soap is a good idea but I would personally recommend that, if you don't use this as a routine, to try a new product a few weeks before surgery, just in case you are allergic to one of the ingredients.  Best of luck!
