Hi everyone! I’m scheduled for facial surgery in a few weeks and I’m wondering what steps I should take to prepare my face beforehand. Any advice on skincare, diet, or general prep would be super helpful. Thanks in advance! 😊
Hey there! I had a similar procedure last year. Here are some things that worked for me:
Skincare: Avoid exfoliating or using harsh products about a week before surgery. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
Sun Protection: Wear sunscreen religiously! Sunburn can cause complications.
Hydration: Drink lots of water. It helps with healing and keeps your skin in top shape.
Diet: Eat foods rich in vitamins C and E—they support skin repair.
Good luck with your surgery! 🙌Hi Linda! My son had facial surgery a few months ago. His doctor emphasized the importance of:
Avoiding makeup and heavy creams a few days before surgery.
Stopping certain supplements like vitamin E and fish oil—they can thin the blood.
Sleeping with your head elevated after surgery to reduce swelling.
Make sure to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions too!
Wishing you a smooth recovery! 🌷One thing I found super helpful was preparing for post-op care:
Cold Compresses: Have these ready to minimize swelling.
Pillows: Get a wedge pillow for sleeping upright.
Gentle Cleansing Wipes: Perfect for the first few days when washing your face might be tricky.
For pre-surgery prep, just be gentle and avoid anything that might irritate your skin!Hi everyone! As a medical professional, I’d like to chime in with a few key points:
Follow Your Doctor’s Orders: They’ll likely have a list of do’s and don’ts tailored to your procedure.
Medications: Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen unless your surgeon approves.
Shaving: If you need to shave near the surgical site, ask if it’s safe to do so beforehand.
Best wishes for a safe and successful surgery!Hello Linda!!!
