Below you will find basic information about common medications for cosmetic surgery. You will be provided with prescriptions that are right for you and for your specific procedure. Most people feel some anxiety before surgery. Anxiolytics are often given before surgery to help patients feel more comfortable.
Studies show that controlling anxiety before surgery can have a positive impact on outcomes. Some medications may be given even before surgery begins. Some common examples are antibiotics and anti-anxiety medications. Before surgery, you may be given an antibiotic to help prevent infection. This can be given as a pill or intravenously.
Anti-anxiety medications may also be used before surgery to help you relax. Before surgery, a thin plastic tube called a catheter may be inserted into a vein in your hand or arm. This is because the specific medications you receive depend on the type of surgery you're having, the type of anesthesia, or the pain reliever you're given. We want you to have an exceptional experience and a spectacular result, whether you undergo cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery by Dr.
