What REALLY Happens Before, During, and After Surgery? The Truth Behind a Smooth Perioperative Experience

The last two jawdropping episodes you heard the OR horror stories—now let’s talk about how it’s supposed to go. In this no-holds-barred episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, I’m joined by our very own nurse practitioner, Paula, for a deep dive into what the ideal surgical journey should actually look like—from the night before your procedure to your ride home. Ever wonder what questions you should be asking before surgery? Or why your surgeon is obsessed with your fish oil, your edibles, or that last-minute nose ring? We cover it all—clearances, labs, anesthesia prep, what to expect in recovery, and why showing up in skinny jeans is a rookie mistake.
We also reveal the red flags you should never ignore—like meeting your surgeon for the first time the morning of your operation (yes, that really happens).

Whether you’re planning surgery or supporting someone who is, this episode is your ultimate guide to knowing what’s normal, what’s not, and how to avoid becoming a cautionary tale.

🎧 Listen now—then share it with that friend who just found a great deal on TikTok. Don’t forget to leave us a review and send this episode to someone you care about—because when it comes to surgery, what you don’t know can hurt you.
