To-Do List Before Cosmetic Surgery

Patient Reflections on To-Do List Before Cosmetic Surgery
Patient writes, “ I just received my packet from Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center with my pre-op (before surgery) instructions. It was great that it came about 4 weeks before surgery, so I have time to read it over a couple times. Dr. Bashioum outlines everything in detail and it really helped to calm my nerves. It includes what I need to do at least 2 weeks before surgery to ensure that I receive the best care.
First, I need to set up a History and Physical appointment with my primary care physician, to make sure I am in good health. Dr. Bashioum wants to provide exceptional quality medical care and this step helps to rule out any health issues that might affect the surgery and my result. My instructions also list several medicines to avoid before surgery and anesthesia.
One of the things that I did not even think about is when I should shower before surgery and what to wear on the day of surgery. Most of my questions seem to have been anticipated and are answered in my instructions. There is also an entire page that explains what goes on in the operating room and the recovery room. I feel very confident that if I read through the packet a couple more times, I will be well prepared for what to expect during surgery and be ready for my tummy tuck! If I still have questions, they encourage me to call the office for my own peace of mind.” In addition, Dr. Bashioum also calls his patients the night before surgery and the following night to check in with them after surgery.

Recent Google 5-Star Review: Bess writes. “As a Registered Nurse, I highly recommend Dr. Bashioum and his team! Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center truly delivers Amazing results. The customer service provided was exceptional! Dr. Ralph Bashioum listens to the wishes of his patients. He explained what is possible, set reasonable goals and he surpassed my expectations! His team in the office treated me like a Princess! They were always friendly, and called me by name. I felt important. Sandy is a RockStar!! The CRNA spent time with me before my procedure making sure that all my questions were answered and that she had my full medical history. This helped ease my nerves. The surgery was smooth and Dr. Bashioum checked (on me) the same day to follow my recovery. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I am absolutely delighted with my results! Thank You so much for the amazing care. You all are the BEST!
