Face Lift Cosmetic Surgery Preparation, Part II

Let's talk about what happens after you have made the decision to have a face lift cosmetic surgery procedure. You have chosen your surgeon. Your procedure has been scheduled. Now the surgeon will give you instructions to prepare for the operation. Often times, this includes stopping certain medications that have been known to increase risk of bleeding. These include: aspirin, blood thinners, vitamin E, green tea, gingko biloba, omega3 fatty acide, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Be cautious because just because a label says "all natural" does not mean it is safe. If you have any questions at all, ask your medical professional. In a previous consultation, you should have told your doctor every drug or medication that you are taking. If your surgeon suggests that you stop taking a certain medication, make sure you tell the medical professional that prescribed the medication to you. Better safe than sorry and you do not want to stop taking medication of you absolutely need it.
