Dr. <strong>Roddi<\/strong>&#8216; <strong>preoperative<\/strong> <strong>instructions<\/strong> for surgery under local\/general anesthesia are designed to ensure the best possible outcome. First, it is strongly recommended that the patient be accompanied by a trusted person, as driving is not permitted after the treatment. Traveling by car could be dangerous because of the used drugs and this to avoid postoperative risks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, <strong>public transportation is not recommended<\/strong>, as there is a risk of traumatic events in the operated area and physical stress. Before the procedure, the patient <strong>is allowed to eat a light meal not beyond 6 hours before the scheduled time<\/strong> of the operation; after which it is mandatory not to ingest any more drinks or solid foods.\u00a0 It is also essential to avoid medications that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin or other antiplatelet medications, for at least three days before surgery. Consult your doctor for a complete assessment and to receive all the information on medications to avoid.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221;

This helps keep the body hydrated and supports the healing process with essential vitamins and fluids. For treatments such as blepharoplasty, the use of glasses with refrigerated liquid is recommended to reduce post-operative edema. Additionally, during the night, it is helpful to sleep with a few pillows under your head to prevent fluid stasis and reduce edema.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PRECAUTIONS TO FOLLOW AFTER SURGERY<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients should avoid lifting excessive weights, tilting their heads, or performing movements that may increase pressure on the head. These movements can cause bruising or bleeding at the wound site. Also, if you wear contact lenses, you should remove them, especially if you are undergoing facial surgery, to avoid complications. The specialist doctor will provide pain relievers that will not interfere with the clotting process to properly manage postoperative pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IMPORTANCE OF POST-OPERATIVE FOLLOW-UP<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After surgery, you will need to carefully follow all post-operative instructions provided by your specialist to optimize recovery and minimize the risk of complications. If you have any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Roddi for clarification.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;column_reverse&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#333333d9&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;4%&#8221; constrain_group_1=&#8221;yes&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;4%&#8221; constrain_group_2=&#8221;yes&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;0%&#8221; bottom_margin=&#8221;-40px&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; top_margin_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; column_padding_type=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;DOCTOR RODDI FOR YOUR PRE-OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS &#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:div|font_size:30|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1748961682558{padding-bottom: 2% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need further clarification or would like to book a consultation, you can contact Doctor Roddi directly to receive all the necessary pre-operative instructions depending on the type of surgery.
