Make a plan for the upcoming two weeks, for example:
- Prepare your relatives for the upcoming surgery and ask them to be available for the first few days after discharge
- If you have children, consider not to engage in taking care of them at the beginning of your recovery, especially if they are babies to 2 years old.
- Clean your house before leaving for the hospital so you won`t have to worry about cleanliness while recovering from surgery
- Provide transportation to the hospital or the proper place to perform regular follow-ups, as driving is not recommended during the first week after the surgery

The day before surgery /or several days/ we will contact you or e-mail you / patients living outside Bulgaria / to remind of the following of the preoperative instructions you`ve received at the consultation with Dr. Angel Enchev and to specify the time of the hospitalization.

- Do not take ibuprofen and its derivatives, there is a possibility of affecting the blood clotting during surgery
- Stop taking herbal medicines, since most of them have side-effects, which could interfere with blood clotting during surgery
- Stop taking pills, not prescribed by a specialist, since most of them can affect anesthesia or cause cardiovascular problems
- Do not take Vitamin E in particularly high doses
- It is recommended to stop or reduce smoking / especially if upcoming surgery is facelift /
- Do not take contraceptives or hormone therapy in high doses, inconsistent with the relevant specialist
- If you are going to have a breast augmentation surgery or breast lift, please have a breast-ultrasound document or mammography / if you have done such in the last three months prior to surgery, you can bring the result of it, without undergoing a new one /

One week before surgery:
