Preoperative Instructions
- You must NOT have anything to eat or drink (including water) for 8 hours prior to your surgery. Failure to do so will cause your appointment to be postponed.
- You must bring someone with you to the office to drive you home (and they must stay during surgery). If the patient is a minor, a parent or guardian must accompany them. Failure to do so will cause your appointment to be postponed.
- Please remove contact lenses prior to surgery.
- Please wear a short-sleeved shirt or blouse to permit access to both elbow areas where the anesthetic will be administered.
- Please remove makeup, jewelry, and perfume prior to surgery.
- If you require antibiotics prior to surgery for other pre-existing medical conditions, take them as prescribed but only with a TABLESPOON of water (the smallest sip possible). Call our office with ANY questions about this before your appointment to clarify.
- If it becomes necessary to change your appointment, please notify the office 48 hours prior to your appointment at (303) 447-9735.
