Key Preparations
As you approach your transformative journey with Facialteam, there are essential steps to ensure a smooth and successful procedure. Here are some crucial preparations to keep in mind:
- Avoid laser or electrolysis hair removal on surgical areas for 3 weeks pre-surgery.
- Refrain from smoking or using nicotine products 3 weeks before and after surgery to reduce infection risks and scarring.
- If on anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (e.g., Sintrom, Aspirin, Warfarin), consult your doctor about pausing them before surgery.
- Pause vitamin complexes 3 weeks before and 1 week after surgery to minimize bleeding risks.
For Hair Transplant Patients:
Stop using Regaine (oral and topical minoxidil) 14 days before surgery.
Additional Notes:
- Are you diabetic? Inform us for specific guidelines.
- On the surgery day, come without jewelry, make-up, nail polish, hair clips, or contact lenses. Remove piercings, earrings, and hair extensions (especially for forehead reconstruction).
- Consider a professional dental cleaning 1-2 months before surgery if undergoing lower jaw or chin procedures to prevent infections.
