Decision Made

Once you have made your decision for your surgery, please contact the clinic to start the booking process.

You will have to inform us the “date” you have in mind, and also make a deposit for the surgery. But most importantly you will have to go for your pre-medical checkup before we can confirm anything.

 

Preparing for Surgery

Once you have cleared the required pre-medical check up and start the booking process, you will have at least another 2 more consultation visits to see Dr Marco to finalize the surgical plans, do the pre-surgery photos and signing the consent for surgery.

SMOKING

Smokers should try to stop smoking from the time of the surgery booking date.

Smokers should try and stop smoking at least 1 week before surgery and 2 weeks after surgery.

This is to prevent skin necrosis (skin may die).

Smoking irritates nasal passengers and causes coughing which might bring on a bleed several days after your operation. It is also a contraindication with General Anaesthesia. Smoking also slows healing due to a decreased blood supply to the operated area.
