Acrylic nails/polish

 Hey all--

does anyone know if centennial requires that you remove acrylic nails or polish off of your toes for surgery?

Thanks!  my fill in is before my pre-op class--dont want to waste money! saving it for new clothes. :)

yes, they do require you to remove them so they can monitor you better - i had to also - bummer - but I do my own - not perfect but do them none the less - and redid them after my plastics - good luck - best wishes

I had to remove my fingernail polish but  not off my toenails!  ~shell

 Thanks for the info guys!  i hate the way my nails feel when the acrylic comes off---so thin! i guess in the grand scheme of things, this is the least of my worries. :) 'preciate it!

Just wait until most of what you're eating is protein.  With that, the calcium, and other supplements your nails will amaze you.  They will be so strong you'll never think of them as thin. 

 hey all  i went yesterday to my pre op stuff and the lady at centennial was going over the checklist for what to do the day before etc....she said it used to say right here that you must remove your acrylics and polish but you no longer have to do that, you can keep them.  i was excited! just thought i would pass that along!  yay for new policies!

That's news to me!   I had my plastics there 7 weeks ago and they made me remove mine.  I gues different areas require differnt things.  Good Luck!!    Yu will be amazed at what you can do when this is all done and said!
