Things to Leave One Week Before the Procedure:

– Aspirin – Herbal medicines – Anti-inflammatory drugs – Vitamins – Alcohol – Cigarettes The above are some substances that you should stop using to prevent complications that may occur during the operation. Many of these may increase your bleeding during treatment. Considering these situations, appropriate planning must be made. If you are using other medications or products not included in this list, please consult your doctor before planning.

Why Should I Quit Smoking and Alcohol One Week Before the Operation?

Smoking reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, preventing the tissue from regenerating itself. The cells in the body, including the transplanted grafts, are fed with healthy blood. Nicotine consumption affects your healing process. Therefore, you should stop or reduce it at least 5 days before the operation. Alcohol affects the duration of action of the anesthetic drugs used during the operation. It may create a risk of bleeding and bruising under the skin. Therefore, you should stop consuming it at least 5 days before the operation.
