VASER pre-operative instructions

1. DO NOT SMOKE for two weeks prior to and two weeks after surgery. Smoking decreases your circulation

and slows down healing time.

2. DO NOT TAKE ASPIRIN or products containing aspirin for two weeks prior toor following your scheduled

surgery. Aspirin has an effect on your blood’s ability to clot and could increase your tendency to bleed at

the time of surgery and during the post-operative period. Please read our entire Medication Alert.

3. Limit your alcohol intake for five days prior to surgery. Alcohol may create complications and

increase bruising.

4. IF YOU DEVELOP A COLD, FACIAL SORE, FEVER, OR ANY OTHER ILLNESS PRIOR TO SURGERY,

PLEASE NOTIFY US.

Males receiving abdominal or flank treatment may prefer to shave the treatment area; females receiving

abdominal or thigh treatments may prefer to shave pubic areas below the hair line.

buttons all the way up the front. Slip-on shoes are recommended for maximum post-operative comfort.

you safeguard your car seat and bedding with a protective cover to prevent staining.
