Let’s explore what is important before undergoing plastic surgery. How should you prepare yourself to ensure a safe and optimal surgical outcome?
Preparation before surgery:
1. Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 1 week
Before undergoing surgery, abstain from consuming alcoholic beverages and avoid smoking for at least one week. Both alcohol and cigarettes affect blood vessels, potentially slowing down wound healing. In major surgeries, such as facelifts or abdominal fat removal, nicotine from cigarettes can significantly increase the risk of compromised blood supply, leading to skin and tissue necrosis.
2. Prepare your body and get sufficient rest
Prior to surgery, it is essential to rest fully and reduce stress or anxiety. A strong, well-rested body contributes significantly to a successful surgical outcome and minimizes complications. If you have high blood pressure, ensure it is well-controlled. If you experience a cold or flu before surgery, seek treatment and fully recover beforehand. Once your body is prepared, you can reduce the risk of surgical complications.
3. Disclose any medical conditions or medication history
Always inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, current medications, or allergy history before undergoing surgery. Providing accurate medical history helps prevent complications during and after surgery, as certain medications can directly affect surgical outcomes.
4. Allocate adequate time for recovery
Although the surgical procedure itself may only take a few hours, the healing process and full recovery can vary greatly depending on the type of surgery. Swelling and bruising are common to some degree after most procedures. Therefore, ensure you allocate enough recovery time and be prepared to manage any postoperative symptoms effectively.
