HOW DO I PREPARE BEFORE MY RHINOPLASTY OPERATION?

Hi,There is nothing too specific other than having a healthy diet with protein. After surgery, depending on your bruising and swelling certain things can be done to reduce that such as steroids, but this will be best decided by your surgeon. All the best!Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Thank you for your question.  I recommend the following daily protocol to my patients before surgery: Vitamin C with rose hips 1000 mg 3x daily, Zinc 50 mg daily, L-Arginine 1000 mg daily, Probiotic daily, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (2 tsp in 8 oz glass of water, 3x daily), High protein diet (chicken, fish, lentils, quinoa, brown rice), Alkalinize your body with dark leafy vegetables and fruit, Daily juicing (I recommend Suja Mighty Greens Organic cold-pressured juice, one 12 oz glass before breakfast, lunch and dinner), Fibercon (2 pills in the morning and at night with 8 oz glass of water), Recommended Orgain Protein Powder daily (do not drink Ensure).  Following all or several of the items listed is recommended before surgery and after for a lifetime of good health.  Best wishes with your endeavors.Sincerely,James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
