ONE MONTH BEFORE SURGERY
Medical & Lifestyle Preparation
Initial Clearance & Health Optimization
• Schedule any required medical clearances (e.g., with your primary care physician or cardiologist).
• If you have chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure), ensure they are well-controlled.
Smoking & Tobacco Use
• Stop or drastically reduce smoking or vaping at least 4 weeks before surgery. Nicotine negatively affects blood circulation and wound healing.
• Inform your surgeon if you use nicotine patches or gum; these still contain nicotine and can delay healing.
Alcohol & Substance Intake
• Limit or avoid alcohol consumption. Excessive alcohol can impair immune function and increase surgical risks
Weight Management
• If you are considering abdominoplasty or other body contouring procedures, maintaining a stable weight leads to better, longer-lasting results.
• Crash diets or rapid weight loss can compromise nutrition and wound healing.
Medical & Lifestyle Preparation
Light to Moderate Exercise
• Engage in low-impact aerobic activities (e.g., brisk walking, stationary cycling) to boost cardiovascular health.
• Avoid overexertion or strenuous weight lifting that could cause injury right before surgery.
Supplements & Vitamins
Start a Balanced Multivitamin (If Approved)
• A general multivitamin (especially one containing vitamins A, C, E, and zinc) can support healing.
• Confirm with your surgeon to ensure no contraindications.
THREE WEEKS BEFORE SURGERY
Finalize Lab Work & Paperwork
Lab Tests & Imaging
• Complete any blood work, EKGs, or imaging studies ordered by your surgeon.
Insurance & Payment
• Verify payment arrangements or confirm insurance coverage if applicable.
Home & Care Arrangements
Recovery Space
• Prepare a clean, comfortable area at home with easy access to essentials (water, medications, phone).
Support System
• Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from the surgical center/hospital and stay with you, especially in the first 24–48 hours post-op.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE SURGERY
Medications & Supplements to Stop or Adjust
Blood Thinners
• If you take aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or novel oral anticoagulants, consult your surgeon about when/if to stop. Never stop on your own.
Herbal Supplements & High-Dose Vitamins
• Discontinue supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, garlic pills, St. John’s Wort, and others known to increase bleeding risk, unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
Hormone-Based Medications
• If you’re on oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, check with your surgeon; in some surgeries (e.g., certain breast procedures), you may need specific guidance.
Smoking & Nicotine
Absolute Cessation
• Continue to avoid nicotine to ensure maximum healing potential. Even “cutting down” is not as beneficial as total cessation.
Diet & Hydration
Balanced Diet
• Focus on lean proteins (chicken, fish, beans), whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
• Proper nutrition helps with collagen formation and immune support.
Hydration
• Aim for 6–8 glasses of water per day (if no fluid restriction). Proper hydration aids circulation and healing.
ONE WEEK BEFORE SURGERY
Pre-Op Testing & Final Consultations
Final Check-In
• Attend any preoperative appointment with your surgeon or anesthesiologist.
• Bring an updated list of all medications (including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements).
Shaving & Hair Removal
Avoid Shaving
• Do not shave the surgical area within 48–72 hours of surgery to reduce risk of skin irritation and infection.
• If necessary, trimming with scissors or using a surgical clipper (done by clinic staff) is safer than using a razor.
Soap & Skincare
Switch to a Mild Antibacterial Soap
• Shower daily with a gentle antibacterial soap or as recommended by your surgeon.
• This helps reduce skin bacteria and lowers infection risk.
Activity Adjustments
Reduce High-Impact Workouts
• Avoid intense exercise (heavy lifting, running) that may lead to muscle soreness or injury.
THREE DAYS BEFORE SURGERY
Bowel Preparation (If Advised)
Stool Softeners
• Consider starting an over-the-counter stool softener like docusate sodium if you’re prone to constipation or if you’ll be taking pain medications post-op.
• Note: Not all surgeries require bowel prep—always clarify with your surgeon.
Continue Hydration & Healthy Eating
Load Up on Nutrient-Dense Foods
• Continue a diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals (e.g., eggs, leafy greens, berries).
Stay Hydrated
• Good hydration helps maintain healthy circulation, crucial for healing.
ONE DAY BEFORE SURGERY
Confirm Surgical Times & Logistics
Arrival Time
• Your surgical center will give you a check-in time—often 2–3 hours before the operation..
Transportation
• Double-check your ride to and from the facility.
Fasting Guidelines (NPO
No Food or Drink
• Typically, do not eat or drink after midnight unless otherwise instructed (your surgeon or anesthesiologist may allow clear fluids up to a certain time).
• Important: This reduces the risk of anesthesia-related complications.
Pre-Op Shower
Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG)
• If recommended, shower with a 4% CHG solution the evening before surgery.
• Gently scrub the surgical area for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
• Do not apply lotions, creams, or deodorant afterward unless permitted.
NIGHT BEFORE SURGERY
Final Preparations
Lay Out Clothing & Documents
• Choose loose, comfortable garments that are easy to put on and remove.
• Gather your ID, insurance info, and surgical paperwork in one place.
Sleep
• Aim for 7–8 hours of rest to help your body prepare.
Medications
Take Prescribed Medications
• If instructed, take specific medications (e.g., blood pressure pills) with a small sip of water.
• Avoid medications not approved by your surgeon (especially NSAIDs or blood thinners).
MORNING OF SURGERY
Second CHG Shower (If Instructed)
Repeat CHG Protocol
• Shower again with the CHG solution, following the same 2-minute scrub technique.
• Pat dry with a clean towel and wear fresh, comfortable clothes.
Pre-Op Checklist
No Makeup, Lotion, or Fragrances
• Avoid facial or body products to keep skin sterile.
Remove Jewelry & Contact Lenses
• Leave valuables at home. Use glasses instead of contacts if needed.
Follow Medication Instructions
• Only take approved medications with a tiny sip of water.
Arrive on Time
Check-In
• Arrive at the specified time to allow for registration, anesthesia evaluation, and final surgical prep.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS BY SURGERY TYPE
Facial Surgeries (Facelift, Rhinoplasty, Eyelid Surgery)
• No Contacts: Use eyeglasses to prevent potential corneal irritation.
• Hair Coloring/Styling: Complete any salon treatments at least 1 week prior to avoid scalp irritation or infection risk.
Breast Surgeries (Augmentation, Reduction, Lift)
• Sports Bra: Purchase a front-zip, supportive sports bra or surgical bra per your surgeon’s recommendation.
• Hormone Medications: Some surgeons may adjust or temporarily stop certain hormone-based meds to reduce bleeding risk.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
• Stable Weight: Ideally maintain a consistent weight for 3–6 months pre-surgery.
• Compression Garment: Ensure you have the proper binder or compression garment as recommended.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
• Avoid Aspirin/NSAIDs: Liposuction can have higher risk of bruising; strictly adhere to the no-NSAID rule.
• Compression Garments: Acquire the correct size for post-lipo recovery.
Body Lift, Thigh Lift, or Other Extensive Body Contouring
• Extended Support: You may need more home assistance for daily tasks (e.g., dressing, bathing) given multiple incision sites.
Mommy Makeover (Combination Surgeries)
• Longer Recovery Planning: Combining multiple procedures (breast + abdomen) can prolong downtime; plan accordingly with childcare, meal prep, and home assistance.
KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Follow Your Surgeon’s Specific Instructions: Your team may modify these guidelines based on your health and surgery type.
• No Smoking: Nicotine cessation significantly decreases complications and speeds recovery.
• Optimize Nutrition & Exercise: A healthy body heals faster.
• Medication Management: Disclose all drugs and supplements. Stop any that increase bleeding if instructed.
• Day of Surgery: Arrive early, stay calm, and adhere to fasting instructions to ensure a safe experience.
