All steps involved in a surgery, including the prior guidelines given by the doctor, must be followed by the patient to ensure the most satisfactory outcome possible. Even the small details count! Below, I list some items requested before any surgical procedure. ⠀ ???? Take to the hospital: ⠀ ✅Documents (ID, CPF, health plan card); ⠀ ✅ An adult companion at the time of admission and hospital discharge; ⠀ ✅All exams performed (reports and images); ⠀ ✅Clothing and personal care items; ⠀ ✅ Take only your personal use items: flip-flops, toothbrush, toothpaste, and comb; ⠀ ✅Do not wear makeup, nail polish, hairpins, hair clips, contact lenses, dental prostheses, or jewelry. ⠀ ✍ Write down and bring for the anesthesiologist and surgical center nurses: ⠀ ✔Previous illnesses, hospitalizations, and surgeries; ⠀ ✔Habitual medications; ⠀ ✔ Allergies and adverse reactions to medications. ⠀ See? Pre-surgical guidelines function as a “check-list” that the patient must follow so that the surgery is performed with the utmost safety possible! ⠀ #plasticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #health #presurgicalguidelines #surgery #wellness #lifestyle #selfesteem
