Drs. Sam Jejurikar, Salvatore Pacella and Sam Rhee discuss the 10 things you need to do before any plastic surgery. Special Saturday show!

10 Things to do before Plastic Surgery

10. Do not bankrupt yourself or place yourself in financial distress - But also do your research, you get what you pay for

9. Do not buy too much paraphernalia - Friends and FB groups can be useful but not always

8. Actually read (and follow) the instructions - Both pre-operative and post-operative

7. Quit smoking or any illicit substances months before

6. Make sure your home is set up properly

5. Review which medications to take or not take beforehand

4. Arrange for help afterwards

3. Don’t party before your surgery

2. Arrange for the appropriate time off afterwards

1. Shaving or waxing near surgical sites 4-7 days before surgery, not the night before or morning of surgery

Bonus:
Get in the right mindset in regards to expectations
Have a conversation with your surgeon about this - don’t get lulled into false expectations based on images you may see on social media
