Your Preoperative Appointment
Although usually not necessary for lighter peels, this appointment addresses more questions you may not have thought to ask at the initial consultation, such as more procedure details, concerns and even ascertaining that your doctor is aware of what you desire from your procedure. Just as your doctor will make certain that you know what it realistically possible from this procedure.
You will also discuss your pre-operative instructions and speak about the recovery period instructions and what to expect in the weeks or months ahead. If for deep peels, you may be given prescriptions for antibiotics, pain relievers, perhaps blood pressure medicines, prescription anti-inflammatory drugs and perhaps a box or directions for gaining a box of SinEcch, a pharmaceutical grade form of Arnica montana. Would like to know more on the benefits of Arnica montana? Perhaps you will be instructed to obtain Bromelain or other types of remedies, although many surgeons would rather have you not take ANYTHING other than your prescription medications, please do not go against your surgeon's wishes. Remember, always ask your doctor before taking any of these products.
