You should return home and spend the first night after the procedure with an adult. The influence of anaesthetic drugs on body precludes independent driving for at least 24 hours on the day of the procedure.

Before the procedure, there will be a short conversation with the doctor performing it in order to remind the arrangements made during the preoperative consultation and to finally dispel any doubts that may have arisen between the period between the consultation and the surgery.

After completing the formalities related to the operation (preoperative consultations, signing the consent for the procedure, financial formalities), you will go to the Patient Room, where you will be able to leave your personal belongings. Our nurse or doctor will help you with everything you need.

What should I bring?

• results of the tests and consultations ordered

Your nurse or doctor will measure your temperature, check your blood pressure, heart rate and body weight. They will also explain what to expect in the operating room and how to prepare yourself for the procedure. If you haven’t done it at home, you will be asked to remove make-up and nail polish from your nails and remove jewellery and piercing. We will provide you with the appropriate outfit for the treatment. If need be, the necessary drawings will be applied to the skin and a set of photos will be taken for medical documentation. For those who need it, a thin flexible needle (cannula) will be inserted into the vein by a nurse or doctor, through which drugs will be administered or blood will be taken.

You will be taken to the operating theatre with the assistance of a nurse or doctor.

You will go on your own with the assistance of a nurse or a doctor to the Patient Room, where you will remain under the care of a nurse until you leave our Centre. During the post-surgical period, the nurse will monitor your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and temperature, and will take care of your full comfort, especially in the event of pain. In the Patient Room you will have access to the nurse call button, television and the Internet.

• Patients must be able to move around on their own without feeling dizzy or nauseous.

• Patients are not allowed to go home before determining the next course of action, giving them the necessary medications for the postoperative period and providing them with a business card with contact telephone numbers.

NOTE: Within the first 24 hours after the procedure Patients who underwent the procedure should not:

• drive motor vehicles;

• take important decisions, in particular to sign legal documents because of the possibility of impairing concentration under the influence of medicines administered to them;

• cook or use electromechanical tools;

• drink alcohol;

• smoke cigarettes.

Adult care is recommended on the way home.

Every single surgical or aesthetic medicine procedure, even the smallest one, puts some strain on the patient’s body, so we ask you to have time to rest after returning home. This does not mean that you have to lie in bed for the rest of the day (unless your doctor recommends otherwise), but you should avoid excessive activity. This will certainly contribute to faster recovery. The first night after each major treatment should not be spent alone. It is advisable that you should have an adult at home.
