Other Tests

A general medical evaluation and clearance for local anesthesia with sedation should be performed, as in all patients undergoing elective facial aesthetic procedures. For 2 weeks prior to the surgery, medications that may inhibit coagulation or wound healing such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and other coagulopathic agents and supplements are avoided. Patients with significant visual impairment may warrant referral to an ophthalmologist. Visual field testing can prove useful in a select patients group of patients. [14]
