Preparing for Surgery

Preparing for a facelift is crucial for ensuring a smooth procedure and optimal results. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with essential tips and guidelines to help you get ready for your facelift in Cancún. 

Pre-Surgery Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Rafael Velasco Marín. During this meeting, Dr. Marín will assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. This is the time to ask any questions and express any concerns you might have about the procedure.

Medical Evaluation

Dr. Marín will conduct a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you are in good health for surgery. This may include blood tests and a review of your medical history. It’s important to disclose any medications you are taking and any underlying health conditions.

Lifestyle Adjustments

• Stop Smoking: Smoking can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications. It’s recommended to quit smoking at least six weeks before and after the surgery.
• Avoid Certain Medications: Some medications and supplements can increase the risk of bleeding. Dr. Marín will provide you with a list of medications to avoid before your surgery.
• Healthy Diet and Hydration: Maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated in the weeks leading up to your surgery. Proper nutrition can aid in the healing process.

Skincare Routine

Dr. Marín may recommend a specific skincare routine to prepare your skin for surgery. This could include the use of certain cleansers, moisturizers, and other products to ensure your skin is in optimal condition.

Arrangements for Recovery

• Post-Surgery Care: Plan for someone to drive you home and assist you for the first few days after surgery. Arrange for time off work and any necessary help with daily activities.
• Comfortable Recovery Space: Prepare a comfortable recovery space at home with necessary supplies, such as pillows, ice packs, and easy-to-eat foods.
