subject: Preparing For Plastic Surgery [print this page] There are many people who are choosing plastic surgery in order to make themselves younger looking as well as to change their looks in a variety of different ways. One of the most popular types of surgery that is seen is facial plastic surgery. As this has become one of the most desired surgeries, it is important for you to keep some things in mind that will assist in the process, seeing to it that the surgery goes as smoothly as possible. You will find it helpful to review the following tips and make sure that you are following them whenever possible. In doing so, you can gain the greatest benefit and personal satisfaction upon completion of the surgery.
One of the most important factors for you to consider is the surgeon that will be performing the surgery on you. This is true, regardless of whether you're going to have any type of nasal surgery done or if you are having somebody work on any other part of your body. You should visit the surgeon in advance and have a conversation with them to ensure that you can be comfortable with the services and skill level that they provide. This is not only going to be good for you, it is also going to be good for the surgeon because they will be in a better position to understand what outcome you have in mind from the surgery.
There are also some specific things that can be done before undergoing any type of facial surgery to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible. If you are presently taking any type of medication, regardless of whether it is prescription or over-the-counter, you must advise your surgeon about those medications long in advance of the surgery. It may be necessary for you to curtail the use of certain, nonessential over-the-counter drugs, such as NSAID medications. You would also want to let your doctor know if you are using any medicine which could lead to bleeding problems or other complications.
Other cosmetic uses may need to be limited prior to and during the time that you are having surgery as well. For example, if you use makeup regularly, you may need to stop using it within a few days of having the surgery completed. Some of the chemicals that may be in the makeup can have a negative influence on the outcome of the surgery. The same is also true if you dye your hair. You should talk to your doctor about this issue and avoid dying hair within a few days of the surgery according to their instructions. You will also need to avoid dying your hair after the surgery to avoid additional complications as well.
The most important thing that you can do when undergoing this type of operation is to discuss everything with your surgeon before you are ready to go. The doctor is going to give you additional suggestions as to what can be done and what should be done prior to having the surgery. You will then be in a better position to undergo the surgery in a safe and effective manner with the maximum outcome.
