New York City resident Dr. Norman Rowe is a plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience. He is an alumnus of New York University in New York and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Norman Rowe, MD, has published over 50 articles, and understands pre-surgery specifics that improve outcomes for this type of surgery.

Plastic surgery alters the body’s appearance for restorative or cosmetic purposes. Most plastic surgeries fulfill cosmetic purposes such as reshaping the nose, face lifting, and fat trimming. Patients should implement self-care tips several weeks before the procedure to achieve safety, favorable outcomes, and speedy recovery.

Patients should eat balanced diets with enough proteins and vitamins. Proteins are essential since they boost the immune system and enhance healing. Similarly, vitamins in fruits and vegetables rebuild collagen, which is vital in skin health and healing.

Physical activity before plastic surgery is also crucial. Regular exercise minimizes the risk of blood clots from surgical procedures, improving recovery time. Accordingly, individuals should schedule at least 30 minutes daily for physical activities such as jogging, swimming, and cardio.

Again, patients should refrain from smoking. Researchers claim it weakens the immune system’s ability to mobilize collagen and elastin. These blood clotting agents arrest bleeding, promote healing, and help avoid permanent scars.
