Pre-operative instructions for flap and skin grafting by Dr. Hajizadeh

To achieve the best results, read all the instructions carefully.

Do not use aspirin, ibuprofen, gelofen, diclofenac, indomethacin, mefenamic acid, vitamin E and herbal medicines 1 week before the fat injection procedure.
Do not smoke for 1 week before and after surgery (nicotine constricts blood vessels and makes it difficult for oxygen-rich blood to reach the surgical site)
Come with clean skin without makeup and without using cream or sunscreen.
Avoid wearing jewelry.
Start taking vitamin C tablets (1000 mg tablets) twice a day (preferably from 2 weeks before the operation).
