An additional wash should be done right

coming to surgery.
Please plan to have someone take you to

with you at least the first 24 hours. Notify
the office staff of this person's name and
telephone number prior to surgery. Have
all prescriptions filled a few days before
surgery so they will be available

area near the buttocks.
The approach for both sides

layers of the buttocks.
