Here's a great Rhinoplasty Lake Jackson surgery I personally went to. Here is their facebook page. You must always remember that personal responsibility plays a major role in preparing for any type of surgery.
The days or the weeks leading to the surgery are very important for any individual. The activities during this time are very important to get the best healing, maximum benefit and faster recovery from surgery. There are 3 simple rules which you should follow before getting a surgery – exercise, eat healthy and abstain from smoking. Here’s why –
Aerobic Exercise
Exercises like walking, swimming and bicycling improves your lung function. In fact, just blowing up a balloon on a regular basis can be very helpful. The concept behind these exercises is to expand the air sacs in the lungs to its potential. During surgery the tiny air sacs can collapse due to anesthesia and this condition can lead to pneumonia and fever. Effective breathing will help you to prevent this condition.
Eat Healthy
When you have nutritious food after a surgery, your body will heal much better. Your surgeon will do a Routine Blood Examination to assess the nutritional status of your body. Researches have proved that low levels of albumin can lead to lots of complications in patients who have undergone surgery. Attention to nutrition is very important for patients who are suffering from diabetes – the blood glucose levels should always hover between 90 and 110. High glucose levels are considered to be toxic to cells and they cause an impediment to healing.
Abstain from Smoking
Almost each and every surgeon will ask you to abstain from smoking just days or weeks before the surgery date. Cigarette smoking causes poor healing of wounds as the nicotine causes the blood vessels to constrict and decreases the supply of oxygen rich blood to the wound cells. There are also many toxins in smoke that can cause delay in the healing of wounds. This is a very good time to shed your habit of smoking and try to make the scars less noticeable.
