ADAM LOWENSTEIN, MD, FACS Guidelines for thighplasty Before your surgery • Maintaining a well balanced diet will facilitate optimal healing. It’s also important to keep well hydrated • Stop smoking at least 3 months before surgery. Nicotine reduces blood flow to the skin and can cause significant complications during the healing process. • Stop taking blood thinning medicatio
