Do you know the medical benefits of Abdominoplasty?
9 February, 2020Important notice – Prevention measures due to COVID-19
18 March, 2020What to take to the clinic on the day of your surgery?
We have compiled what we understand would be more important to take the day of your surgery to the clinic in your handbag.
You should take into account that the hospitalization of cosmetic surgery is usually one night. So we recommend lightweight luggage for such purposes.
Here is a list of the most important, but you should always follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon:
Medical history, previously requested medical exams
It is very important to have the result of the analysis, in case you need to evaluate or consult something that day.
Medicines you usually consume
Your surgeon should have knowledge in advance about the medications you frequently consume, whether over-the-counter, prescription pain relievers or vitamins.
Identification documents
You must bring with you your identification documents that will be requested at the time of admission. You must also complete income forms, these vary depending on the center of attention.
Personal hygiene items
We recommend a towel (although you must take the day of admission) toothbrush, toothpaste, antibacterial soap and other basic items.
Pajamas, light and comfortable clothes
Forget about very tight clothes and uncomfortable fabrics. The most important thing in the post-operative stage will be comfort. Depending on the surgery, you should wear a girdle when you leave the clinic or post-surgical bra (in the case of breast procedures).
Phone with full charge and a wall charger
This recommendation is made, because many times the mobile is downloaded and the patients request chargers from nurses and other medical equipment. Bring your wall charger to connect it to the room during your stay.
You must be accompanied by a family member or friend
This last recommendation, but not least, is NOT NEGOTIABLE . You must be accompanied by a person who is willing to help you during the process and provide support.
