In preparation for your surgery, you will need to stop taking blood-thinning medications and supplements. This may include prescription and OTC medications. We will review the supplements and medications you use to help you determine which will need to be stopped before surgery.
If you use nicotine, including vaping, you must stop at least six weeks before your procedure. This is because nicotine and other vasoconstrictors, including most nasal decongestants, can slow the healing process and result in the development of scars.
We suggest you create a comfortable place to recover before your procedure. Stock it with comforts to allow yourself time to be still and relax for the first few days of recovery. We will provide additional information, including suggestions for recovery, based on your specific needs.
