Dr. Gardenier recommends that clients…
- Stop smoking at least a month prior to their procedure, as smoking can slow down healing time and present other roadblocks to recovery.
- Stop all aspirin products about 7 days before their treatment. This will help to reduce blood loss.
- Abstain from eating and drinking after midnight prior to their office visit.
- Are not pregnant, and take a pregnancy test on the morning of their procedure.
Dr. Gardenier most often performs the Brazilian butt lift procedure under IV sedation. This ensures that the patient is comfortable and relaxed but is also spared many of the risks associated with general anesthesia. Nausea is also greatly reduced with IV sedation.
