Real Patient
Pre-Operation Care
Thoughtful Preparation for Elevated Results
At Vegas Facial Plastics, preparation is just as important as precision in the operating room. That’s why your pre-operative journey is approached with the same level of care, personalization, and attention to detail as your surgery itself. Under the guidance of Dr. Mehdi Sina, your pre-op process is designed to ensure safety, minimize risk, and optimize your outcome, while keeping you informed every step of the way. From lab work and medication management to skin care protocols and mindset, we’re here to help you feel calm, ready, and fully prepared for your procedure.
What to Expect During the Pre-Op Process
Your pre-op journey is carefully mapped out from the moment you schedule your procedure. This includes both medical and lifestyle preparation tailored to your treatment plan. Here’s what to expect:
Pre-Operative Consultation
This appointment typically occurs 2–3 weeks before your procedure. Dr. Sina will review your medical history, finalize your surgical plan, and answer any remaining questions.
Required Labs & Medical Clearance
Depending on your health status and age, we may request labs or a clearance letter from your primary care provider.
Medication Review
We will provide a list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to surgery (including blood thinners, NSAIDs, and certain herbal supplements).
Pre-Surgical Skin Care
In some cases, especially for procedures involving resurfacing or facial surgery, Dr. Sina may recommend a tailored pre-op skin care regimen to prepare the skin for better healing.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Smoking cessation, limiting alcohol, and maintaining a healthy diet and sleep routine are all important for optimal recovery. Our team will guide you through this process.
Important Reminders & Tips
- Arrange for transportation and a caregiver for the first 24–48 hours after surgery.
- Prepare a comfortable recovery area at home with essentials like gauze, ice packs, soft foods, and prescribed medications.
- Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and strenuous activity at least two weeks before surgery.
- Fill all prescriptions ahead of time so they’re ready for you post-op.
- Stay in close communication with our team—we’re here for any questions or concerns that arise.
