Preparation is essential to ensure an optimal result and a successful recovery. It is advisable to stop smoking at least several weeks before surgery, as smoking can significantly delay healing. The surgeon will evaluate if it is necessary to adjust any medication, follow a special diet or perform previous laboratory studies. It is also important to organize the logistics afterwards: to have someone who can accompany you to the clinic and assist you during the first days of recovery, and to foresee if you will need medical equipment at home.
