Preoperative preparation
For surgery to be successful and healing to proceed optimally, it is essential that patients follow the protocol.
A carefully established plan is the basis for the success of any activity, so that surgical interventions are no exception – both the organ details and the surgical procedure are put in place by the clinic team, together with the patients.
Here is what the preparation in advance means and the necessary steps for the excellent conduct of the whole process:

For both invasive and non-invasive surgeries, it is essential to choose a plastic surgeon that gives you confidence,who has experience and who has all the credentials.

Initially, you will establish with the doctor a preliminary discussion and an initial consultation, which is intended to create the connection with him. The way in which you can discuss with the doctor, as well as the answers and solutions that he will give you is a factor that will determine you to make the final decision .
Write down everything you want to know in the course of this discussion and ask your doctor. The plastic surgeon must have the relevant experience for the procedure you are requesting, to make sure that you are in good hands.
