How to Start Preparing for Surgery a Year in Advance

Undergoing cosmetic surgery is a life-changing decision, and proper preparation is key to a smooth recovery and the best results. Many patients focus only on the procedure itself, but your outcome depends just as much on what you do in the months leading up to it.

At The Royals Assist, we’ve helped countless clients prepare, heal, and thrive after surgery. If you’re considering a procedure, this guide will walk you through how to start preparing a full year in advance, ensuring your journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

12 Months BeforevSurgery: Research & Planning

Choose the Right Surgeon & Facility

Not all surgeons are created equal. Start researching board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in your desired procedure. Look at:

  • Verified credentials & board certifications

  • Before-and-after photos of real patients

  • Reviews & testimonials from previous clients

  • The quality of the surgical facility

Start Budgeting for Surgery & Recovery

Surgery costs more than just the procedure itself. You’ll need to account for:

  • The surgeon’s fee & facility costs

  • Travel expenses (if going out of town)

  • Post-op care & supplies (compression garments, massages, etc.)

  • Time off work for recovery

Pro Tip: At The Royals Assist, we offer luxury post-op recovery packages to help you plan financially for aftercare, so you’re not caught off guard with unexpected expenses.

9 Months Before Surgery: Build a Strong Foundation

Improve Your Diet & Hydration

Your body will heal faster if you nourish it properly beforehand. Start increasing your intake of:

  • Protein: Supports skin healing and muscle repair

  • Vitamin C & Zinc: Essential for wound healing

  • Water: Hydration reduces inflammation

Avoid processed foods, excess sugar, and alcohol—they can slow healing and lead to increased swelling post-surgery.

Create a Support System

You will need help after surgery. Start identifying a trusted friend or family member to assist you in the first few days.

If you don’t have someone available 24/7, The Royals Assist offers exclusive recovery stays, providing round-the-clock care, meal services, and expert post-op assistance.

6 Months Before Surgery: Health & Medical Preparations

Schedule a Full Medical Check-Up

Even if you feel healthy, your surgeon may require lab work, EKGs, or other tests before clearing you for surgery. If any issues arise, you’ll have time to address them.Start a Light Exercise Routine

Being in good physical condition helps with recovery. If cleared by your doctor, start incorporating:

  • Light cardio for circulation

  • Strength training for overall endurance

  • Yoga or stretching for flexibility

Not sure how much activity is safe post-op? Our expert team at The Royals Assist provides guidance on when and how to ease back into movement after surgery.
