There are many precautions that need to be taken in the preoperative period in order to
ensure that your surgical process is under the best conditions and to prevent some
possible complications. Please carefully read and apply the following topics in the
context of complete preoperative preparations. If you have any questions about these
issues, please contact us.
\uf0b7 We want you to enter your surgery in the best physical and mental condition.
Therefore, the preoperative preparation period is very important. For this reason;
\uf0b7 You must not be sick with coronavirus (Covid-19). If you have had this disease
before and recovered mildly, at least 4 weeks must have passed since you
recovered. This period should be longer if you had a severe illness and had to be
hospitalized. You should seek the opinion of your treating doctors about whether
you are ready for plastic surgery.
\uf0b7 It is vital that you and your companion take very serious precautions against
coronavirus and practice social isolation in the period of 14 days before and 14
days after the surgery, which is approximately 1 month.
\uf0b7 During the operation process, it is important to prefer private vehicles instead of
public transportation to and from the hospital and the doctor’s office in order to
reduce the risk of contamination. These precautions should be taken in the
postoperative period as well as before the operation.
\uf0b7 You should always wear an FFP3 or FFP2 mask on public transport or in closed
environments.
\uf0b7 In more detail the measures to be taken to have plastic surgery safely under
pandemic conditions pandemide estetik ameliyat\u0131 You can find it on our page.
\uf0b7 If you have a chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, thyroid
(goiter), hypertension, you should be taking your medications regularly and you
should get confirmation from your follow-up doctor that there is no problem with
the surgery. You should have the relevant tests done in the near future to clarify
your current situation.
\uf0b7 You should not have a concomitant illness such as cold, flu or urinary tract
infection. In such cases, inform your doctor. If necessary, your surgery should be
postponed.
\uf0b7 You should avoid excessive fatigue, very strict diet, drug use, excessive alcohol
consumption, which can suppress your immune system. Your sleep should be
regular.
\uf0b7 You should have a balanced and strong psychological structure in the
postoperative period, so if you do not feel psychologically ready for surgery and
its aftermath, you should postpone your surgery.
\uf0b7 Blood thinners such as Aspirin used before the operation, vitamins, nutritional
supplements sold in pill form, homeopathic substances, slimming medicines and
herbal products such as green tea can cause very serious bleeding problems and
drug interactions during and after surgery; such products should not be used
during the one-month operation period, 15 days before and 15 days after the
operation.
\uf0b7 Inform your doctor about medications such as blood pressure, diabetes, heart or
thyroid medications that must be taken regularly. In addition to taking these
medications regularly in the preoperative period, you should also bring them with
you to the hospital, as you may need to take them in the same way on the
morning of surgery and the next day.
\uf0b7 Since birth control pills increase the risk of clot formation in the legs, they should
not be used in the preoperative period from 4 weeks before surgery. Especially
those who are overweight, who smoke, who have a history of clot formation in
their legs, who have undergone cancer treatment, who will undergo an operation
that will last more than 2 hours should pay attention to this issue.
\uf0b7 It is absolutely unfavorable for people with the possibility of pregnancy to undergo
surgery. For this reason, it is very important to take the necessary precautions to
avoid becoming pregnant between the last menstrual period and the date of
surgery during the preoperative preparation period. In addition, some of the
ointments used after surgery are contraindicated during pregnancy. Therefore,
pregnancy should not be planned for at least 3 months after surgery or the
creams in question should not be used.
\uf0b7 If you have been previously treated for blood clots in the veins, the doctor should
be informed about this.
\uf0b7 Important Note: If you are currently using Roaccutane or a similar drug
containing isotretinoin and used in the treatment of acne, or if you have used this
drug in the past but it has not been at least one year since you stopped using it,
you should postpone your surgery because wound healing problems may occur in
the surgical areas.
\uf0b7 Smoking and overweight pose a risk in terms of anesthesia, blood circulation in
tissues and wound healing; smoking should be stopped in the preoperative period
and aesthetic surgery should be planned after losing excess weight. Smokers are
advised to quit smoking at least 1 month before surgery.
\uf0b7 Surgery should be postponed if the person is psychologically disturbed, bored or
has other work or social problems at the time the surgery is planned. Especially in
the early postoperative period, a certain period of time must pass for the swelling
and bruises to disappear and the desired result to appear. During this period, it is
important that the patient’s morale is high and his\/her psychological state is
balanced.
\uf0b7 In the few days before the aesthetic operation, juicy and natural fiber foods should
be consumed and alcohol should be avoided.
\uf0b7 Do not attempt to shave the hair in the surgical area (such as the nose, arms or
legs) at home, as small incisions may occur on the skin during this procedure and
infection may spread from these incisions to the surgical area. If the hair in the
relevant area needs to be trimmed, this will be done in the hospital by health
personnel just before the operation.
\uf0b7 Nothing, including water, should be taken orally from 8 hours before the
scheduled surgery time. Medications such as blood pressure medication,
thyroid medication, etc. can be taken with the knowledge of the surgical<\/p>\n\n\n\n
team, if you are taking any medication, you should consult your doctor about this
issue.
\uf0b7 If you develop a flu infection, fever, rash or “any medical problem” in the days
following the pre-operative blood tests, you should inform your doctor
immediately, and if necessary, your surgery should be postponed.
Preoperative Fasting Period
\uf0b7 It is important that the stomach is empty during and after the operation to avoid
nausea and vomiting and related undesirable conditions. For this reason, solid
food and liquid food intake, including water, should be stopped 8 hours before the
planned operation time.
\uf0b7 Contrary to popular belief, it is not good to be hungry and dehydrated for more
than 8 hours before surgery. A drop in blood sugar and dehydration of the body is
a situation we do not want. On the other hand, we observe that postoperative
nausea and vomiting are more common as a result of the accumulation of gastric
secretions in a stomach that does not work for a long time. For this reason, we
recommend that you eat something light and drink plenty of water 8 hours before
the operation time (by setting a clock and getting up from sleep if necessary) and
then stop eating and drinking.
Evening Before Surgery
\uf0b7 Take a shower.
\uf0b7 Spend the evening resting and go to bed on time.
Morning of Surgery
\uf0b7 You may need to take some medications that you need to take continuously, such
as blood pressure or thyroid medication, on the morning of surgery. Discuss this
with your doctor beforehand and take your medication on the morning of surgery if
necessary.
\uf0b7 If your surgery is before noon, do not eat or drink anything. You can have some
tea, water and a light breakfast (toast etc.) up to 8 hours before the operation.
\uf0b7 Remove your contact lenses. Remove any jewelry such as earrings, necklaces,
hairpins or piercings. Do not bring any valuables with you.
\uf0b7 Make sure that there is no nail polish on the nails and makeup on the face.
\uf0b7 Choose comfortable clothes and shoes that are easy to wear. Choose clothes that
open and close in the front instead of clothes that need to be taken off over your
head.
\uf0b7 You will not be allowed to drive home after the operation. Organize your exit from
the hospital accordingly.
Dietary Supplements to Stop Before Surgery
Today, the consumption of herbal and ‘natural’ dietary supplements is increasing day by
day. Even though these products consumed in the form of herbal teas, powders or pills
may be beneficial in some cases, they may interact with other medications by changing
the clotting properties of the blood during the operation process or by increasing or
decreasing the effects of other drugs used and may cause undesirable results. For
example, green tea is frequently consumed and can cause serious bleeding problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nutritional supplements that should be discontinued 15
days before surgery:
\uf0b7 Green Tea
\uf0b7 Lemon Juice (drunk regularly every morning for cure)
\uf0b7 Blueberry (Vaccinium Myrtillus)
\uf0b7 Albanian Pepper (Capsicum Annum)
\uf0b7 Angelica (Angelica Sinensis)
\uf0b7 Echinacea (Echinacea Augustfolia)
\uf0b7 Silverbush (Feverfew, Tanacetum Parthenium)
\uf0b7 Fish Oil Capsules
\uf0b7 Garlic (Allium Sativum)
\uf0b7 Ginger (Zingiver Officinale)
\uf0b7 Gingo Biloba (Ginkgo Biloba)
\uf0b7 Ginseng (Panax ginseng, panax quinquefolium)
\uf0b7 Hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata)
\uf0b7 Kava Kava (piper methysticum)
\uf0b7 Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra)
\uf0b7 Ephedra (Ma Huang, ephedra sinica)
\uf0b7 Melatonin
\uf0b7 Yellow Cantoron (St. John’s Wort)
\uf0b7 Cat Out (Valeriana Officinalis)
\uf0b7 Vitamin E
\uf0b7 Yohimbe (Corynanthe Yohimbe)
Do not take aspirin-containing medicines 15 days before
and 15 days after surgery
Since Aspirin reduces blood clotting properties, people who use Aspirin may develop
serious bleeding, bruising, etc. during and after surgery. Therefore, Aspirin or drugs
containing similar substances should not be taken. Patients who are required to use
blood thinners such as coumadin etc. can be operated on using alternative drugs under
the supervision of a doctor. If you need to use painkillers, you can take a painkiller
containing paracetamol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you do not completely stop consuming the following foods containing aspirin-like
(salicylate) substances, it is useful to avoid excessive consumption and keep
consumption to a minimum during the operation.
These foods are
\uf0b7 Grapes, Grape juice, Nectarines, Oranges, Peaches, Pickles, Almonds, Apricots,
Strawberries, Blueberries<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\uf0b7 Cucumber, Currants, Curry, Plums, Raisins, Tomatoes and foods containing
tomatoes, Vinegar
\uf0b7 Wine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
