6 weeks before surgery, you should stop smoking, or quit it for good. This reduces the risk of post-operative complications. 

 3 months before surgery, you should stop taking steroids and immunosuppressants. Within 2 weeks, you should stop taking medications that affect blood clotting. 

For 2-3 months before surgery, you need to increase physical activity and switch to the right diet. Eliminate caffeine drinks a month before the operation. Weight loss and reduced blood sugar increase the chances of successful surgery. 

On the day of surgery, the patient should take with them documents, pajamas, personal hygiene products, medicines for daily intake, a book to the clinic.   

 Before the operation, you can make an appointment for individual counseling with a psychologist. With them, you can talk about your fears, attitude to the body and appearance, the importance of the operation in your life. You can also visit support groups. There, you can talk to people who have faced the same difficulties and were able to solve them.
