Lists of Recommended Products for Successful Post-Surgical Healing in Austin, TX
At Austin Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, our goal is for every patient to have a smooth, successful recovery process after surgery. To that end, we’ve compiled several lists of various items that our patients have found to be beneficial for post-surgical healing.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON ENSURE BEVERAGE: We recommend that our patients drink a clear carbohydrate beverage, such as Ensure Clear (included on the lists below), the night before surgery and again in the morning two or more hours before surgery to reduce postoperative nausea and to shorten time in the recovery room. DRINKING ENSURE LESS THAN TWO HOURS BEFORE SURGERY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO YOUR LUNGS. Please finish the beverage two hours before your surgery start time, or skip it if you missed this time window.
