Pre-Surgery and Day-of-Surgery Precautions from Wink Plastic Surgery!

Wink Plastic Surgery explains the precautions that must be observed before surgery and on the day of surgery!

1. Stop taking medications such as aspirin, omega-3, ginkgo, and red ginseng! It is best to stop taking medications that may reduce platelet function, which is responsible for hemostasis in the blood, and it is important to check in advance.

2. Alcohol and cigarettes can cause inflammation and various side effects after surgery, so please avoid them as much as possible to prevent this.

3. Because the patient’s condition is assessed through tiny blood vessels under the fingernails and toenails, the pulse oximeter may not work properly. If there are foreign substances such as nail polish on your hands and feet, please remove them. Eyelash extensions can also obstruct the surgical field, so it is best to remove them as well.

4. You must fast to prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus and entering the lungs during anesthesia. Please stop everything that goes into your mouth, including water, gum, and candy. However, unlike anti-inflammatory pain relievers, if there are medications that must be taken, such as blood pressure or diabetes medication, they may be taken on the day of surgery with a small amount of water. Please be sure to consult the medical staff for details.

1. For a while after surgery, it is difficult to wash your face to protect the surgical area, so it is best to practice thorough personal hygiene before surgery.

2. Accessories and metal items may pose a risk of burns due to the current emitted by the equipment, so please remove any materials attached to your body before coming in.

3. On the day of surgery, comfortable clothing such as a zip-up or cardigan that is easy to put on and take off is recommended, and it is good to bring a hat or sunglasses that can cover the surgical area after discharge.

4. Because local anesthesia or sedative anesthesia is performed, dizziness may occur after surgery. Therefore, please avoid driving yourself after discharge on the same day, and it is advisable to use public transportation.
