Pre-Appointment Preparations

Before scheduling the surgery date for cosmetic enhancements at Dr. Mona Rane’s office in Liberal Kansas, you may be required to schedule a pre-operative appointment as well. This appointment is to record some blood tests in the laboratory for, which includes but is not limited to, blood clotting test, pregnancy test, blood count test and HIV or Hepatitis C test. You will be given time to decide on the surgery, any medications that are relevant, so be prepared for the instructions that follow. You will be asked to stop taking any medications that contain aspirin or other drugs that clot blood or cause problems with the surgery. Your doctor, Dr. Mona Rane, will suggest the list of things you need around the healing room after the surgery.
