Optimizing Your Health Before Plastic Surgery

Optimizing Your Health Before Plastic Surgery

If you’ll soon be undergoing a plastic surgery procedure, it’s wise to take certain health precautions. As with any surgical procedure, plastic surgery requires a recovery period. So, before going in for your surgery, it’s important for you to be in good health. This will ensure a quick, successful recovery with the best possible results from your procedure. 

Here are our top tips for optimizing your health before plastic surgery:

Stop Smoking. 

If you smoke, it’s important that you quit at least four to six weeks before your plastic surgery procedure and remain smoke-free for a month afterward as smoking reduces the blood circulation to surgical wounds. Given that blood delivers valuable nutrients and oxygen to the wounds to promote healing, reduced circulation will be a detriment to your recovery. 

Quitting cigarettes before your plastic surgery procedure will greatly reduce your risk of complications and support a healthy recovery process. Not to mention, there are other long-term health benefits of quitting smoking for good!

Maintain a Healthy Weight. 

If you’ve been aiming to achieve your ideal body weight, there’s no better time to do so than before plastic surgery. We advise patients to reach and maintain a healthy weight well in advance of their procedure by adopting a balanced diet and exercise routine. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will not only help you shed pounds but also prep your body for a speedy recovery from plastic surgery. 

Control High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and Related Conditions. 

Conditions including high blood pressure and diabetes don’t prevent patients from safely undergoing plastic surgery. However, if you do have one of these conditions, it’s important to manage it well both before and after the surgery. So, if you have high blood pressure, make sure to visit your doctor well in advance of the surgical procedure to get the treatment that you need. If you’re diabetic, ensure that your blood sugars are kept under control before and after the procedure to prevent complications. 

Optimizing your overall health and wellbeing is a top priority for Dr. Mosiello.  To schedule your consultation for plastic surgery, contact Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery today!

    Testimonials


    I came to Dr. Mosiello’s practice as a reluctant patient who had just been given the diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in several doctors’ office’s during my diagnosis and treatment and Dr. Mosiello’s office is my favorite. He is a very kind, competent surgeon who patiently answered questions and explained things fully. I was given clear post op directions and checked on by the nurse before my first post op visit and someone was always available if I had a question or concern. His staff is amazing! Melissa, Paula, Mary and Carol are all very personable and caring. This is also an office where I did not wait long periods of time to be seen. Things run smoothly and timely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mosiello to anyone in need of a plastic surgeon.

    I love Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery ~ Dr. Moseillo, Mary, Nancy & Paula. I had breast cancer and reconstruction with Dr. Moseillo several years ago and knew I would never let anyone perform surgery on me other than him. I decided I wanted to do an Upper Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). I had the surgery a few months ago, am now at my summer home in Maine and everyone is commenting on how great I look. They have no idea that I had anything done! I keep hearing, “you have amazing eyes”. I am so thrilled with the results, feel 10 years younger and if you’re thinking about this procedure, or any other for that matter, do not hesitate to go to Tampa Palms ?

    Dr. Mosiello taught me how to live again after having breast cancer. His staff is truly a blessing. He is an amazing artist and a wonderful Doctor and friend.

    Dr. Mosiello, plain and simply put , is the BEST ! I did a lot of research and he was the one I chose and am very thankful and grateful that I did, as I had consulted with other plastic surgeons from other cancer centers. Dr. Mosiello surpassed in every area. He and his staff truly care and are warm, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Which takes the stress out of any pre surgery or procedure. Knowing you have the best surgeon in your corner is the most important part. Post surgical procedures look amazing and he has saved my life, and has made me whole again. Look no further, he IS the best.
