2 weeks before surgery:
· Take a multivitamin with extra Vitamin C to promote wound healing.
· Stop taking Vitamin E, garlic, ginkgo biloba, anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin or
products containing aspirin (Bufferin, Anacin), and all herbal medications. Tylenol

office, before the operation.
· Tylenol Extra Strength.
· Box of thick sanitary or gauze pads.
24 hours prior to surgery:
Maintain good oral hydration to help prevent post operative nausea and vomiting.
You need to drink at least eight 8 oz glasses of water, juice, Gatorade etc.
STOP EATING AND DRINKING 8 HOURS PRIOR TO SURGERY except for
medications with a sip of water. We will advise you which medications are
necessary to take before your operation.
· Do not shave the abdominal and pubic area, to decrease the risk of skin
infections.
The morning of surgery:
· Shower and pay particular attention to cleaning abdominal skin, pubic area and
navel.
· Wear casual loose clothing. Be sure you have something that fastens in front - a
tracksuit is ideal. Wear socks. Do not wear jeans.
· Bring your abdominoplasty garment.
