  • Money: never just come with enough prepare for emergencies.
  • Complete your pre-admissions testing/screening: You may need to have blood drawn and/or other pre-op tests 1-2 weeks before your surgery. Schedule accordingly and review the below items with your doctor(s).
  • History of Anemia: You must find out your hemoglobin number? This is important for patients that have a history of anemia and have more than one procedure done at the same time.
  • Current Prescriptions: review any medications you are taking with your doctor to determine which, if any, you need to stop taking. This may include skin care lotions, pain medications, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and/or blood pressure medication.
  • Post-op Prescriptions: Some surgeons will provide a prescription on discharge after your procedure. While other surgeons will provide your prescription on pre-op day. You will need to take medications post-op.
  • Nurse: hire a licensed nurse for the first 24hrs.
  • Transportation: is a must after your cosmetic/plastic surgery procedure.
  • Recovery Supplies: Purchase all your recovery supplies from NY Surgery Supplies

Prepare your Surgery Recovery Area – Put a plastic mattress liner (for protection) and clean linens on your bed. Have extra pillows on hand, if needed. Make items such as a remote control for the TV, laptop computer and cell/portable phone accessible.

Arrange transportation – Your doctor will not allow you to leave alone following surgery. Plan to have a driver available for you.

Have someone stay with you for 24 hours – Have a friend or family member stay with you overnight to assist and/or in case of emergency.

The Last Minute – Be flexible. Your doctor may want you to come into the office to do lab work a few days before the surgery. Find out when you should stop eating and what to eat before surgery. Relax, wash your hair, and get a good night’s rest the day prior to surgery. Do not take valuables to the hospital. Make sure you have keys and plan a safe place to leave your wallet and jewelry.
