If you smoke, abstain from smoking for a minimum of six weeks prior to and after surgery. This reduces the risk of infection and encourages faster healing.
Do not take any medicines containing aspirin or ibuprofen throughout the two weeks preceding surgery.
Do not eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery.
Be particular you don't have a cold or sunburn the day of surgery.
Do not wear make-up or contact lenses to surgery.
Arrange to have a person take you home after surgery and, if possible, help you around the home for a few days although you recover.
