How To PREPARE for BREAST AUGMENTATION Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery offers women a great look and improved self confidence. Dr. Jerome Edelstein provides some tips for making preparations for surgery to ensure less stress and a smooth procedure.

• Begin with a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon skilled in performing this type of surgery. Determine the type, size and placement of the implants.

• Arrange for at least one week off from work (or longer if the job is strenuous). Also, consider help with childcare and house work.

• Discuss all vitamins, supplements and medications with your surgeon because there are some that need to be discontinued until after surgery since they can affect healing.

• Have someone drive you to and from surgery and someone who can stay with you the first day afterwards.

• Fill prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications ahead of time and have ice packs on hand to be able to ease swelling.

• Prepare food and have plenty of snacks on hand since driving will not be possible for at least a few days.

• Purchase a surgical bra to supplement the one provided at the time of surgery.

• Inform your surgeon if you feel ill within a few days of surgery or think that you may be pregnant.

• The day prior to surgery, wash thoroughly with a disinfectant soap such as Hibiclens.

• Don’t eat or drink after midnight prior to surgery.

• On the day of surgery, wear loose fitting clothing with a button-up top. Remove jewelry and body piercings, makeup and nail polish.

• If menstruating, do not use a tampon on the day of surgery – wear a sanitary pad.
