What to expect the days before your surgery . What to avoid , what to stop , and how to prepare properly . Dr. Michael Gartner Double-Board certified Plastic Surgeon gives you all the tips here.


The week before your surgery stay off of any supplements. Anything that is going to increase bleeding . Studies show that 70% of patients don't tell their doctor they are taking supplements.

Supplements that may increase bleeding :
Gingko Biloba
Garlic
Ginseng
Fish Oil
Dong quai
Vitamin E

Do Not take Motrin , instead of Motrin take Tylenol .

The night before your Breast Augmentation surgery under general anesthesia you can not eat or drink anything the night before.

Dr. Gartner offers an awake breast augmentation under local anesthesia , which some of these do's and dont's in this video such as eating and drinking may not apply to .

Working out
When it comes to working out , do not do a killer workout the night before , you can inflame your body before the surgery . Best thing to do is have the killer workout 3-4 days before your surgery date .

Nail Polish
You can have nail polish on your nails , you just need to make sure that one nail does not have nail polish on during surgery . A pulse oximeter which measures your blood pressure is applied on that finger without nail polish.

Showering
The night before surgery you can shower using antibacterial soap . NO creams or lotions on the breast . You want to leave the area as dry as possible , no oils.

Clothing
The day of the surgery make sure to wear loose clothing especially your top. A button down shirt is a good idea, you don't want to wear anything that may have you raising your hands like a tight tee shirt .

Timing
Breast Augmentation surgery usually takes a little less than an hour , afterwords you are sent to recovery , monitored , and sent home. Implants are always put under the muscle .

Pain Level
Pain 1-10 , patients usually are a 4 . The pain that patients experience is pressure. 2-3 days for the pain and pressure to be tolerable . The worst days would be the first and second. It is important to lay upward when you are home if you are laying straight on your back you will feel much more pressure.
