Pre-surgery Assessment
Before your surgery, you'll undergo a comprehensive health assessment. This helps us understand your overall health status and identify any factors that might affect your surgery or recovery. Be sure to inform us about all medications you're taking, any allergies, and previous surgical experiences.
Fasting Instructions
You'll typically need to avoid eating and drinking for a specific period before surgery (usually 6-8 hours). This is important for your safety during anesthesia. We'll provide detailed fasting instructions when you receive your appointment confirmation.
medication Adjustments
Some medications may need to be adjusted or stopped before surgery. Blood thinners, for example, may need to be paused. Always discuss your current medications with our team to ensure proper management.
Arrange Support
plan for someone to drive you home after surgery and help you for the first few days. You won't be able to drive yourself, and having support at home will significantly aid your recovery.
Be patient with recovery
healing takes time. Follow your surgeon's guidance and don't rush your recovery.
Communicate Concerns
If you have questions or concerns, contact our clinic. We're here to support your recovery.
lifestyle Factors Matter
Smoking, poor nutrition, and obesity can slow healing. optimise these factors for better outcomes.
