Shower or bathe and shampoo the night before and the morning of your surgery, with antibacterial soap before coming to the hospital - this helps to prevent infection. Click on the link below for more information on important showering instructions:
Make sure your hair is clean and dry prior to arriving. Avoid hairspray.
Wear loose clothing that is easy to get off and on, which will fit over extra padding such as a bandage/dressing.
Do not wear makeup, jewelry (including any body piercing) or metal hair accessories.
Do not bring other valuables.
Change linens on your bed the night prior to surgery so that you are sleeping on clean bedding, after your antibacterial showering. Do not apply lotions or powders.
