Partial Video Transcript:
"♪ [music] ♪ So, today's video is going to be addressing how you prepare for your upcoming dermatology procedure.
Now, fortunately for us most procedures in dermatology are relatively easy, relatively simple. And by this I mean that you are not going to be undergoing general anesthesia for your procedure. It's all going to be done locally. That means you're going to be numbed very similar to how you were for the biopsy.
So, it's just local numbing, you're awake the whole time. And for this reason, we don't need you to fast for 12 to 24 hours prior to the surgery. We want you to come in with a full belly of what you normally eat. We want you to be as comfortable as possible. Please also wear clothing that is easy to take on, easy to take off, that will not disturb the surgical site.
We also don't want you coming in with a pressed white shirt and your dress clothes. We don't want those to get ruined and they could get stained during the surgical procedure..."
