If you suffer from a serious illness, such as diabetes, I may order tests or suggest you see your treating physician. If you are going to have a general anesthetic, the anesthesiologist may order special tests to prepare for the anesthetic.
Most plastic surgeons take photographs before and after surgery.
I recommend that you are at the operating suite one and a half hours before surgery. Although this seems early, it is necessary to get the best result for you. Often I prescribe medicines before surgery that make you feel comfortable during surgery. If you do not have these medicines on time, they are not as effective. If you need special tests, it often takes an hour for results to return.
