Optimal time for the procedure.
This is the middle of the menstrual cycle,
because
during menstruation,
as well as a few days before and after,
tissues tend to bleed more.
Tests.
2 weeks before the surgery, it is necessary to undergo laboratory tests according to the list received from the clinic.
The results are valid for 14 days,
except for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus),
viral hepatitis tests,
and chest X-ray (CXR),
which are valid for a year.
Recommendations upon admission. Bring loose-fitting change of clothes (optional) and personal hygiene items.
Leave jewelry and adornments at home.
If undergoing breast prosthesis surgery, avoid clothing that needs to be pulled over the head.
Stop eating and drinking 6-8 hours before the operation (anesthetist's requirement).
Metabolic therapy. The day before the operation,
if desired,
you may undergo metabolic therapy based on vitamins and amino acids.
Medications. The intake of aspirin and other drugs of this group should be discontinued before surgery, as they affect blood coagulation, specifically, they decrease it.
Smoking. The sooner (at least temporarily) you stop smoking before surgery, the better. The point is that nicotine, which enters the body during smoking, constricts blood vessels, specifically the small capillaries, which are the primary vascular network responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients directly to tissues.
In the result, microcirculation of the blood is disrupted, which, in turn, leads to impaired healing of the postoperative wound.
Alcohol. It is recommended to refrain from alcohol 4 days before the surgery.
