Four Weeks Before Surgery 

  • Stop Smoking – Smoking can greatly impair your ability to heal.  You must be nicotine and smoke-free for at least four weeks prior to surgery.  You must also be free of any nicotine patch, ecig, gum, or nicotine-based products.
  • Stop Taking Vitamin Supplements – As well as Estrogen supplements, Aspirin, Ibuprofen and any other anti-inflammatory agents for the duration before your surgery.  Taking any of the following can increase your risk of bleeding along with other complications.  If you are taking folic acid, you can continue to do so.
  • Medications – If you are on any medications regularly, let us know.  We will inform your surgeon.
  • Practice Fitness – No engaging in an aggressive or new routine.  However, practicing good fitness habits is an impotant factor in your overall health.  Stretching excerscises and low-weight strenght can help to enhance your posture and your strength in the weeks following surgery.
  • Good Nutrition – Eat well during the weeks prior to surgery.  Crash dieting, over eating or high alcohol intake can greatly affect your overall health.  A healthy and balanced diet is essential.
  • Healthy Lifestyle – Maintaining the best of health and higiene is quite important. Catching a cold or other illness can result in your surgery being rescheduled.  Make certain to address any illness immediately, and notify your Cosmetic Consultant Manager of any change in your health.
  • Prepare and Plan – Schedule any time off work and any support you may need at home in the days following surgery. These may include housework, childcare, shopping, driving, etc.
  • Select a Companion – It is recommended to travel with a companion so you can dedícate your post surgery time to relax and heal.  If you are traveling by yourself, it is recommended for you to stay in one of our recovery homes or in a confortable hotel closeby the hospital and Surgeon’s office.
  • Relax and Enjoy – Stress and anxiety over life’s daily events can affect your lifestyle.  If you are experiencing serious stress or distress over the thought of surgery, let us know.  We are here to support you.

  • Avoid Sun Exposure – Sun damaged skin can rapidly produce irregular scars.

Three Days Before Surgery

  • Start Packing – Your Passport, ID, medications that you may be taking and reading glasses are priority.  Warm, clean cotton socks, and baggy clothing with buttons or zip at the front is the perfect choice.
  • Wax or Shave – Your bikini área, legs and arm pits (if necessary).  It may be uncomfortable to do so in the days immediately after surgery.
  • Shower – Use an anti-bacterial fragrance fee soap.  Shampoo your hair.
  • Do Not – Do not use any hair gel or other styling products, scented skin creams or moisturizers.  Do not use deodorant, hair spray, perfume or cosmetics.
