Was wondering if anyone had done their toes or nails done before surgery, meaning was it allowed to have your toes painted and can you have on acrylic nails? I'm having my surgery on the 23rd and I just want my hands and feet to look ok if you know what I mean. Hope some ppl don't think this is to silly.

Not a good idea, unless you leave your nails unpainted. The anaesthatist will look at the colour of your nail bed amongst other things, to check oxygen levels so it is important to have no nail varnish on them.

Not silly at all! I know I asked about polish and my surgeon said not even that on my finger nails because of that awesome (haha not) thing you wear on your finger to monitor your blood oxygen level. Good luck with your surgery!!!

Thanks guys I kinda figured that :/ Owell my health is more important then my hands and feet looking good I guess lol

I had a manicure and pedicure the day before and put clear nail polish on, the nurse asked me pre op if I had anything on my nails and when I told her it was clear she said that was fine. Hope that helps

Thanks that's a good idea.

I had a mani-pedi done before I left for mexico. No problems there. Acrylic nails may be different?

I got a pedi done the day before surgery because I hate people seeing them when they are not done.

The surgeon and nursing team actually commented on the color and how nice they looked! Made my day.

I had a pedi before surgery as well - no problems!

I had a cute festive pedicure (which I almost never get) just before surgery - it was no problem. I left my finger nails un-painted.

:0)

Good luck!

I also had my toes done. I had nothing on my fingers though. At one point I had an Oxygen sensor on each hand

I had a pink and white powder solar on my hands and white tips on my toes....the only issue I had was when I had my nails painted....the anestiaologist told me not to color my nails for the surgery, and I asked if I could atleast do powder, but I wear arylic on my nails for a reason (I'm avery bad nail biter, and I will not bite the arylic, too painful, tried 3 times, ugh)

So ask.....

I had mine done at Kaiser here in So Cal. NO! on painted toes and nails. Other people might say it's o.k., but I personally would NOT have it on ( including clear) in case they have a problem with it. I didn't want to jeopardize anything. I made an appointment for manni and ped about 1 1/2 weeks after the surgery....I really looked forward to it and it felt good. Just my opinion. Good Luck

Toes were ok, fingernails were a no.

I had mine done the day before surgery. Toes are pink. Nails were Axxium gel. Clear with french tips. No problems.
