Before your surgery, you should let your doctor know all the medications you take. Stop using any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, Motrin, naproxen) two weeks before surgery. Acetaminophen is fine. You should avoid smoking for 2 weeks before your procedure. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery. Make arrangements to have someone drive you home. Try to stay in the New York area if you live far.
On the day of your surgery, you should arrive at our office a little early. Wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing and avoid wearing any jewelry. You can wear your glasses but don’t wear contact lenses.
