The instructions on this page are designed to help Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery patients prepare safely for surgery and recover smoothly afterward — and following them closely is one of the most important factors in a comfortable recovery and a successful long-term outcome. Pre-operative preparation directly affects how the body responds to anesthesia and surgery, while post-operative care influences bleeding control, swelling, infection risk, and the speed at which surgical sites heal. Dr. David Salehani is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a DDS from State University of New York at Stony Brook, an MD from Stony Brook School of Medicine, an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency completed at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and a general surgery internship at Stony Brook University Hospital — training that informs every clinical recommendation outlined below.
Read these instructions carefully before your appointment, follow them throughout your recovery, and call our West Hollywood office at (310) 275-3635 with any questions or concerns at any point in the process.
