At Accelerate ENT , we want to give you all of the tools for success, including guidelines to remember before your surgical procedure.

  • Refrain from using any alcohol or tobacco after midnight the night before surgery
  • Do not take any aspirin or painkillers for at least one week before your procedure
  • Avoid eating or drinking after midnight prior to your surgery, unless otherwise instructed to do so
  • Remove nail polish, jewelry, and contact lenses
  • Bring an adult with you to the surgery center so they can drive you home after the procedure
