To ensure a smooth surgery, please follow these guidelines:

- For 24 hours after anesthesia, do not drive or operate machinery.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing with sleeves that can be rolled up past the elbow and low-heeled shoes.
- Remove contact lenses, jewelry, and dentures before surgery.
- Avoid wearing lipstick, heavy makeup, or nail polish on the day of the procedure.
- If you have any illnesses, such as a cold or stomach issues, please inform our office.
