Preparation for facial surgery is mostly administrative and logistical — which is exactly why it deserves attention. A well-prepared patient has a calmer recovery.
Information
Gather your medical history, medication list, allergies and previous treatment records. Photographs in daylight, without make-up, from several angles are part of the record.
Write down what you want changed and what you want to preserve.
Logistics
Confirm dates, accommodation and transfers. Check that somebody at home knows your schedule, and keep your documents in one place.
If you are travelling internationally, plan a slower itinerary than usual.
Your body, your questions
Tell the clinic about every medication and supplement. Ask before changing anything — never adjust medication on your own.
Prepare your questions in advance and ask them all.
Mindset
Plan for a quiet period rather than a busy one, and expect healing to take the time it takes.
Decide with information, not with urgency.
Practical points for patients
- Keep one folder with history, photographs, plan and travel documents.
- Ask for written pre-operative instructions.
- Plan a companion if you can.
- Save the clinic’s contact details in your phone.
Frequently asked questions
What should I avoid before surgery?
Your medical team will give you individual instructions. Do not follow generic lists from the internet.
Can I travel alone?
Many patients travel with someone for comfort. Discuss your situation so logistics can be planned around it.
How early should I arrive?
Your plan should state the recommended arrival relative to your procedure. Ask for it in writing.
What if something changes at home?
Contact the clinic as early as possible. Plans can often be adjusted, but medical scheduling is a clinical matter.
