The Best Foods to Eat Prior to Cosmetic Surgery

Why do we need to eat the right foods pre-surgery?

 

Eating the right foods before undergoing a cosmetic surgical procedure has its wonders. Whether you believe it or not, that’s a fact. Eating the right foods before your surgery can help in your recovery. When you eat right, you’re providing your body the nutrition it needs to minimize any swelling, inflammation, and scarring.

 

Is fasting required before surgery?

 

Old methods are already considered outdated. Prolonged fasting is no longer required before your surgery. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) issued a ‘nothing by mouth’ (NPO) guideline that allowed taking in clear liquids until two hours before the surgery. This rule applies to all healthy patients undergoing elective procedures that require general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, sedation, or analgesia.

 

You don’t have to worry about not having to drink before your surgery. Don’t starve yourself but don’t also overeat. Doing both are unhealthy and may cause more damage rather than helping you.
