Empower Your Journey with Expert Guidance

A successful surgical experience begins long before you enter the operating room. At Stile Aesthetics, preparation is the foundation for beautiful, long-lasting results. Dr. Frank Stile and our expert team provide every patient with detailed, personalized pre-operative instructions, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and ready for your procedure. With thoughtful preparation, you can enjoy a smoother recovery and optimal outcomes.

Why Following Your Pre-Op Instructions Matters

Pre-operative care supports your body’s healing process, reduces surgical risks, and sets the stage for outstanding results. Dr. Stile will provide tailored instructions based on your specific procedure, overall health, and individual needs.

Whether you are undergoing facial rejuvenation, body contouring, or breast enhancement, your personalized guidelines will ensure you are fully prepared for every step of the surgical journey. Each patient’s pre-operative plan is thoughtfully designed to optimize safety, enhance results, and create a seamless experience from the first consultation through final recovery.

General Pre-Op Guidelines for Common Procedures

While every surgical plan is unique, there are some universal guidelines that many patients will follow as they prepare for their procedure at Stile Aesthetics. Below are some general pre-operative recommendations for the treatments we most commonly perform:

Facial Rejuvenation (Facelift, Eyelid Surgery, Rhinoplasty, Lip Lift, Buccal Fat Removal):

Stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery to promote optimal healing.
Unless otherwise instructed, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E) for two weeks prior to surgery.
Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours after surgery.
Prepare a recovery area at home with cold compresses, prescribed medications, and any necessary supplies for comfort.

Body Contouring (Tummy Tuck, Liposuction):

Maintain a stable weight leading up to surgery for best results.
Hydrate well in the days before surgery unless otherwise directed.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to remove on the day of surgery.
Plan for a period of reduced physical activity as you heal.

Breast Enhancement (Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, Breast Revision):

Complete any required medical clearances or lab work before your procedure.
Discuss all current medications and supplements with Dr. Stile to ensure surgical safety.
Arrange for post-operative bras or garments as our team has recommended.
Follow all fasting guidelines provided before anesthesia.
