Ok!: Don't smoke, get plenty of fluids. Discontinue nsaids such as Aspirin days before, but do take immediately before your appointment. Follow, up use ice, on and off every 20 minutes for the first 8 hours. Lots of fluids. Positive attitude, but reduce your activities for 48 hrs.

Avoid Smoking...: Do not rinse the wound(s). Avoid spicy foods. Eat soft foods. Follow your surgeons directions. Doing the above will help minimize any post surgical complications.
