What is a pre-operative visit?
After patients have decided on a surgical plan and have reserved a date, we schedule a pre-op visit. Ideally this visit will occur about a month prior to the planned surgical date to allow maximal patient preparation. During this pre-op visit, a complete set of professional photographs selected according to the surgical procedure is obtained. Patients are asked to review and sign consents for surgery and prescriptions are given. We also provide and review thoroughly the instructions for activity and care after your surgery. Ideally, when the day comes for surgery, our patients are over-prepared with all the medicines and supplies set up at home for recovery.
