Alberta Plastic Surgery: Tips For A Complication Free Surgical Experience

To help your surgery go off without a hitch and to maximize your healing we have put together a quick list of things all Albertans should do before and after a procedure so that you have the best possible surgical experience. Below you will find our tips and suggestions, we recommend you follow as many as possible.

Pre- Plastic Surgery Tips

1: Be As Healthy As Possible Before Your Surgery

The men and women of Alberta who are healthy are better able to handle plastic surgery. During your consultation ask your surgeon what you can do to get healthier between now and your procedure. Some starter tips would be cut out fried and fast food, soda pop, and any kind of high sugar items. If you are overweight or obese, you could be at higher risk for complications which is another reason why to start eating healthier as you get twice the benefits, priming your body to recover faster while also losing weight.

2: Quit Smoking At Least 2 Weeks Prior To Your Procedure

If you are smoker then it is mandatory that you quit smoking at least 2 weeks prior to your plastic surgery as smoking raises your risk for infection and leads to prolonged healing. If you been struggling to quit or have always wanted to quit but it just never seemed like the right time to, now you have a solid reason to force yourself to quit. If stopping cold turkey isn’t an option for you there are numerous support groups across Alberta that can help you with quitting smoking .

3: Reduce Your Alcohol Consumption

Drinking can cause a few complications during your surgery and recovery, such as having unpredictable effects to the anesthesia when you are put under and slows down the healing process. It is strongly recommended you either quit drinking at least 2 weeks prior to your surgery or keep drinking a moderate amount once or twice a week, with no alcohol the week prior to your surgery.

4: Do Not Eat Or Drink The Day Of Your Plastic Surgery

One of the effects of anesthesia is that it cause vomiting during and after your operation. Normally your body will keep you from inhaling food or vomit, but when you’re under the effects of anesthesia those reflexes often stop working. This can be serious issue so be mindful of it and do not eat or drink the day of your operation.

5: Exercise As Much As You Can A Month To Two Months Before Your Procedure

Getting plenty of exercise in the months leading up to your operation will help prime your body to be fit and better able to recover after your operation. Speak with your doctor about what levels of exercise you are fit to do and strive to stay active. So get outside and enjoy all the beauties that Alberta has to offer and you will likely have a quicker recovery, fewer complications, and less pain post-surgery.

6: Words Of Caution If You Take Supplements

It is known that certain supplements have negative effects on anesthesia which can lead to the anesthesia wearing off quicker than anticipated or may put your body asleep but your mind is still awake during your operation, tho the percentage of this happening in Alberta is extremely low.  For instance, ginkgo biloba, echinacea, fish oils, garlic, and ginseng all can lead to complications or unpredictable effects in regards to the anesthesia.  We recommend you check with your physician or your plastic surgeon about what supplements you should stop taking and how long before your operation.

Post- Plastic Surgery Tips

1: Wear As Loose Clothing As Possible

Depending on the type of procedure you have done it can be a challenge to do simple things like get dressed in the morning. If your surgery affects your physical bodily movement in any way then it would be wise to look for soft and loose fitting clothing that can be easily put on and taken off. Elastic-waist shorts or pants along with loose fittings shirts that button up rather than pullover to put on are much easier to wear when your economy of motion is compromised.

2: Get Plenty Of Rest And Relaxation

Once you are back home plan on taking a few days depending on the type of operation you had just to rest and relax. Your body will be trying its best to recover and if you are putting extra stressors onto it such as mowing the grass, going shopping, doing laundry etc. you are slowing down your recovery process as your body can’t focus on healing. If you must go to work or take care of errands make it a priority to exert as a little force as possible while performing your day to day tasks. For example keep lifting to 5 – 10 pounds or less and do not spend long periods of time of consistent exertions such as running or jogging.

3: Eat Healthy And Do Not Skip Meals

Your body is in a state where it needs quality vitamins and nutrients at a regular and consistent rate, so you must eat high quality meals regularly during your recovery to minimize the time it takes to fully heal. Focus on meals that are high in proteins, vitamins, nutrients, and do not skip meals especially breakfast.

4: Be Mindful Of How Your Body Is Responding To The Healing Process

There can be set backs in recovery after a plastic surgery operation, so it would be wise be on the lookout for these symptom’s.

  • Racing heartbeat
  • Fever, especially if it lasts for more than a day
  • Pain that gets worse over time
  • Vomiting or Nausea that doesn’t go away or persists for a few days or more

If you are experiencing any of these symptom’s please see your doctor as soon as possible.
