Can someone tell me if a bowel prep is required for plastic surgery? I can understand it was needed for RNY but curious about for plastics :)

Thank you!

I started taking colace a few days before and tried to eat soft foods but only because I have bowel problems normally and anytime you have anesthesia it always seems to make things “harder". LOL

Hope this helped!!

I did a bowel prep prior to my LBL/hernia repair etc. because I didn't want to have any problems early post-op. I won't bother for my medial thigh lift/breast lift because abdominal muscles won't be worked on. It was my decision and plastic surgeon said it was fine.
