At «Oxford Medical», other plastic surgeries are also performed. During the consultation, the surgeon will help determine which intervention best meets your request and the expected result.

Preparation begins with a consultation. The plastic surgeon discusses the desired result with the patient, assesses anatomical features, determines the extent of the intervention, and explains how the operation and recovery will proceed.

Before minor interventions, the scope of the examination may be minimal. If a major plastic surgery under general anesthesia is planned, a more comprehensive preoperative examination is required to assess heart function, blood clotting, hemoglobin levels, and other indicators important for the safe performance of the operation.

Before the intervention, the following may be required:

• a complete blood count — to assess hemoglobin levels, signs of anemia or an inflammatory process;
• a biochemical blood test — to assess liver function, kidney function, glucose levels, and other indicators;
• a coagulogram — to check blood clotting, especially before extensive operations;
• electrocardiography — usually before operations under general anesthesia, especially in older patients or those with cardiovascular diseases;
• ultrasound or mammography of the mammary glands — before breast operations, depending on age and the condition of the mammary glands;
• additional examinations if they are required by the specific type of operation or the patient's state of health.

Before the operation, it is important to tell the doctor and anesthesiologist about all medications that you take regularly. Some medications may affect blood clotting, blood sugar levels, or interact with drugs used for anesthesia, so even before the operation, it is agreed which of them should continue to be taken according to the usual regimen and for which the regimen needs to be temporarily changed.

It is advisable not to consume alcohol for several days before the intervention. On the day before the operation, it is better to choose light food and not overeat. If general anesthesia is planned, solid food is usually stopped 6–8 hours before the operation. Water, tea, or coffee without milk can usually be consumed no later than 2 hours before anesthesia. After that, eating and drinking are not allowed.
