Get plenty of rest the night before.
Eat a good breakfast on the morning of your surgery.
Bring any book, magazine, or screen device that you might like to read/ use during the various waiting periods that will be required.
Also, bring any snacks or drinks for waiting periods.
Wash your hair either the night before or the morning of your surgery, as your wound and initial dressing must remain dry for the first 24 hours following the procedure.
Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.
Leave valuable items at home as staff cannot be responsible for these items.
Wear little or no makeup.
Plan on spending most of the day with us, as this is a surgical appointment, not a routine office visit. You will be asked to wait in a separate reception area several times while the tissue is being processed and examined.
Arrange to have someone drive you home after the surgery. (Note: Please limit the number of relatives or friends who accompany you, as reception room space is limited.)
