Pre-Operative Care

Sedation & Anesthesia

Pre-Operative Care Instructions

You will be given instructions regarding your surgery during your consultation appointment. Every patient must have a responsible adult accompany them to the office, remain in the office during the surgery and then drive them home and stay with them for 24 hours after surgery.

Pre-Operative Care Instructions

On the Morning of Surgery:

Don’t eat or drink (including water) for six hours prior to your appointment or after midnight before surgery.
Refrain from smoking for at least 12 hours before surgery. Smoking cessation is highly recommended prior to and following all surgery.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing with sleeves that can be rolled up past the elbows and low-heeled shoes.
Remove contact lenses, jewelry and dentures.
Don’t wear lipstick, nail polish or makeup.
Call the office beforehand if you have an illness like a cold, sore throat or upset stomach.
Take your routine prescription medications with a sip of water unless instructed otherwise.

After surgery, we will give you a postoperative bag that includes detailed instructions and additional gauze. Prescriptions will also be given to you to be filled at the pharmacy on your way home from our office. Carefully following our directions for care can prevent unnecessary pain and complications and help you heal more quickly.
