What will I need to do to prepare for surgery?
To optimize your recovery, you will need to:
- have blood work done
- have an EKG if you are over 50
- get medical clearance if you have health issues, like diabetes or heart disease
- stop smoking
- avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding
- begin proper skin care, as this leads to better healing and better outcomes
