Your surgeon provides written instructions specific to your procedure, covering food, drink, bathing, and what to wear. Review them early and follow them exactly.
Preparing for Surgery
Prepared Patients Recover Better
Follow these guidelines closely before surgery. Your preparation directly shapes your healing.




Your Pre-Surgery Checklist
Several areas deserve your attention before surgery day arrives.
Certain medications and supplements thin the blood or interfere with anesthesia. Share everything you take with your surgical team, and pause only what they direct.
Anesthesia means no driving yourself home. Arrange for a friend or family member to drive you, and plan for someone to stay with you the first night.
Set up a comfortable spot before surgery day: extra pillows, entertainment within reach, prepared meals, and prescriptions filled ahead of time.
Nicotine slows healing, so stop smoking well before surgery. Hydrate, eat balanced meals, and prioritize sleep in the weeks leading up to your procedure.
No question is too small. Call our team any time between your consultation and surgery day. That’s what we’re here for.
