Medication
Unnecessary medications and vitamins must be avoided for 2 weeks prior to the rhinoplasty surgery (such as aspirin or Tylenol, birth control pills, hormone drugs, and vitamin supplements). Anything that may increase bleeding must be avoided.
Please let the consultants know prior to the surgery if you are diagnosed and are undergoing any treatment (such as diabetes, thyroid issues, heart disease, and hypertension).
Drinking & Smoking
Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes before surgery (at least 3 days). Intake of natural foods like vegetables and fruits will shorten your recovery period after surgery.
Clothing
You are recommended to wear comfortable clothes (preferably zip ups, nothing tight) on the day of the surgery. Remove all make-up (including light & heavy make-up), jewelry, nail polish, and contact lenses.
Fasting
Because you will be undergoing local anesthesia, you must fast for 4 ~ 6 hours prior to your surgery.
