Preparing properly before plastic surgery is essential to ensure safety and achieve the best possible results. Below are key guidelines to help you get ready for surgery and support a smooth recovery.
1. Avoid Alcohol and Smoking for at Least One Week
Before undergoing surgery, refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages and avoid smoking for at least one week. Both alcohol and nicotine affect blood circulation and can delay wound healing. In major procedures—such as facelifts or abdominal fat removal—nicotine significantly increases the risk of impaired blood supply, which may lead to skin or tissue necrosis.
2. Prepare Your Body and Get Adequate Rest
Prior to surgery, ensure you get sufficient rest and manage stress or anxiety as much as possible. A healthy, well-rested body plays a crucial role in achieving successful surgical outcomes and reducing complications. If you have high blood pressure, make sure it is well controlled. Should you develop symptoms of a cold or flu before surgery, seek medical treatment and allow yourself to fully recover before proceeding. Proper physical preparation helps minimize surgical risks.
3. Disclose Any Medical Conditions or Medication History
Always inform your doctor of any underlying medical conditions, current medications, supplements, or known allergies. Providing a complete and accurate medical history is essential, as certain medications and health conditions can directly affect the safety and outcome of surgery.
4. Allocate Adequate Time for Recovery
Although the surgical procedure itself may take only a few hours, the recovery period can vary depending on the type of surgery performed. Swelling and bruising are common after most procedures. It is important to plan sufficient time for recovery and be prepared to manage postoperative symptoms to ensure proper healing.
