Before a Plastic Surgery operation

Before a 
Plastic Surgery 
operation

The procedure for Plastic Surgery procedures is relatively simple.

  • It is recommended to stop aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID, voltaren, naprosyn, etc.), as well as multivitamin preparations 15 days to three weeks before surgery.
  • Smoking should also be stopped or reduced to a minimum.
  • The right candidate for Plastic Surgery Services is in good health, with no particular problems and is a non-smoker.
  • For some services, pre-operative tests are required.
  • The patient enters the clinic on the day of the operation, having fasted for 8 hours. Medication (which the patient may take in the morning for thyroid or hypertension) can be taken with very little water.
  • After the operation, there should be good cooperation between the Plastic Surgeon and the patient, who should follow the instructions that will be given. The guidelines are about avoiding any complications and getting the wound to heal faster and better.
  • Usually the patient stays in the clinic for one night, and is discharged the next morning with the appropriate instructions.
  • Afterwards, the postoperative course is systematically monitored in the plastic surgeon’s office.
  • The return to daily activities is proportional to the operation and is usually between one and two weeks.
  • Full recovery after surgery can take a month or more.
  • Scars are slow to heal. Their maturation takes place over time, and until then they have a dynamic that can change their appearance and color. Thus, the Plastic Surgeon along with the patient should be in communication for immediate treatment.
  • Each patient and Plastic Surgery procedure has his or her own particularities. Surgical technique and post-operative instructions are individualized. For this reason, the relationship between patient and plastic surgeon should be based on honesty, while expectations for the results of the operation should be analyzed and realistic.
  • The results depend to a large extent on the surgical technique, age, skin quality, but also on following the instructions that will be given after the surgery.

SLEEP ON YOUR BACK – ANTIAGEING

Try sleeping on your back. In this way, we avoid wrinkles that are created during sleep. The habit of sleeping on one side creates asymmetries in the volume and wrinkles of the face. An asymmetrical face is less attractive!

SKIN MOISTURIZATION – HYALURONIC

Water is necessary for the proper functioning of cells. For this reason, do not neglect the deep hydration of the skin of the face, neck and neckline with hyaluronic acid

SUN PROTECTION – MESOTHERAPY

Many of us think that the sun’s rays are only harmful during the summer months. We must properly protect our skin from solar radiation and don’t skip the sunscreen in the winter too!

WATER CONSUMPTION – NON-INVASIVE HYDRATION THERAPIES

One of the factors that cause premature facial wrinkles is lack of water. Our body consists of 55-78% water (depending on age, gender, and body size). Lack of water causes dryness in the skin and helps wrinkles to develop more easily. We drink a lot of water in winter and summer!
