Am I a Candidate for This Procedure?

The fact that you want to undergo a specific procedure does not automatically mean the will comply. Before any plans are made, the surgeon will want to determine if there are any factors that could make it unwise for you to have the surgery. For example, certain types of chronic health issues may make the procedure dangerous. Several past procedures that are similar could mean you should not have another one. Remember that a responsible surgeon does not agree to perform any procedure if it would expose the patient to an unreasonable level of risk.

Would Any of My Medications Complicate the Surgery or the Recovery Period?

Most cosmetic surgeons will want to go over the prescription medications that you take. This is to determine if any of them could have an adverse effect during the procedure. Medications that thin the blood are a prime example. You would need to stop taking them several days before the procedure.
Remember that it’s not just prescription medications. If you take herbal supplements or over the counter medicines, some of them could cause complications. Go over everything you take and determine if any of them need to be avoided in the days leading up to your surgery.

You’ll find that as time passes, the discomfort will begin to subside and most of it will be gone by the time you are released from the facility.
