Dr. Alan Serure Plastic Surgery Preparation Protocol

Preoperative Requirements

Every patient will have a personalized, individual consultation with Dr. Alan Serure to discuss their surgical goals. Dr. Serure will tailor a surgical plan to achieve your aesthetic goals. Patients will also meet with Dr. Serure’s administrative and nursing staff to gain a clear understanding of the surgical preparation and what to expect after surgery.

The team at our plastic surgery practice in Miami always obtains detailed medical history and will communicate the necessary preoperative requirements to your physician. If you do not have a physician, we can arrange for you to see a physician for medical clearance. Patients must be in optimal physical condition for all procedures.

Nicotine Free

Nicotine is detrimental to healing. Patients must be nicotine-free prior to most procedures and must absolutely abstain from nicotine, including vaping and smoking, for lifting procedures, tummy tucks, or breast reductions.

Blood Thinners

Aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Motrin, and supplements such as vitamin E, fish oil impair blood coagulation. Instruction and a comprehensive list of restricted medications will be provided to each patient preoperatively and a list is available on our website.

Semaglutides

To minimize the risk of anesthetic issues caused by delayed stomach emptying, patients using semaglutide medications like Ozempic and compounded preparations must abstain at least two weeks prior to surgery.
