Like any dedicated plastic surgeon, Dr. John Silverton provides each patient with detailed pre- and post-operative instructions. It is important to follow these instructions closely in order to achieve the best possible surgical results.
Preparing for Surgery
There are a number of important steps to take when preparing for surgery. By closely following your plastic surgeon's instructions, you can set yourself up for a successful procedure and the quickest, safest, and most comfortable recovery possible. When preparing for your surgery:
- Stop smoking. Smoking slows the healing process and increases the risk of complications.
- Practice good nutrition. Eating healthy foods both before and after surgery can help you heal more quickly and feel better.
- Stop taking aspirin and ibuprofen. Medications containing aspirin and ibuprofen can thin the blood and cause excessive bleeding during and immediately after surgery. Acetaminophen is a safe alternative.
- Stop taking herbal medications and supplements. Because these products are not thoroughly tested, they can interact unexpectedly with anesthesia, which could cause life-threatening complications.
- Fill your prescriptions. Dr. Silverton typically prescribes medication during the pre-operative physical. It is important to fill these prescriptions before surgery so they will be available when you need them.
- Complete testing and lab work. Patients typically need to undergo detailed testing prior to surgery, which may include a mammogram, EKG, electrolyte testing, and a blood-clotting panel. Undergoing these tests is an important part of determining whether you are a good candidate for plastic surgery.
