Preparing for Aesthetic Surgery: What You Need to Know

When it comes to preparing for an aesthetic surgery procedure, there are certain steps you should take to ensure the best possible outcome. The most important thing you can do is to stop smoking. Patients who have smoked (even once) before surgery are at significantly higher risk during and after the procedure. In addition to quitting smoking, you should also get by with a little help from your friends.

Having a support system in place can help you stay on track with your pre-surgery preparations. It's also important to increase your protein and fiber intake in the weeks leading up to your procedure. The type of preparation that will be needed before surgery depends on the surgery being performed and the type of anesthesia being given. I have several years of experience performing liposuction, abdominoplasty, and breast augmentation, and I strive to provide outstanding aesthetic results in the safest and most comfortable way possible.
