  • If you take any oral contraceptives – you cannot stop taking them, but you must inform the surgeon and anesthetist about this;
  • 2 weeks before surgery (if it is plastic surgery), it is advisable to stop visiting the gym, because you need the most relaxed muscles. If the muscles are hypertonic, rehabilitation will be more painful and the risk of hematomas will increase;
  • It is recommended to abstain from smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages 14 days before surgery (or to reduce consumption by 2 times). For smokers, rehabilitation is always longer, swelling lasts longer than for non-smokers;

! Do not eat or drink water 6 hours before surgery!
