Post-Operative Instructions

Your overall surgical result is predicated upon your understanding and commitment to all pre and post operative instructions. This information will be made available to you in your pre-surgical package. All recommended medications and supplements will be prescribed and issued prior to the day of surgery. We will spend as much time as necessary during your consultation or by phone to be sure all our instructions are clear. Our goal for you is a smooth and swift recovery.

Vitamins and Nutrients

In order to best support the healing process, Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery believes in prescribing specific vitamins and nutrients designed for comprehensive cosmetic surgery procedures. VitaMedica’s surgery program combines three products to provide support to our patient’s immune system, prevent infection, minimize inflammation and reduce bruising. These surgical supplements are designed to be safe, effective and simple to use.
