Many women are stepping into the exciting world of cosmetic surgery and taking advantage of the many advanced procedures available to enhance their looks and self-confidence. Breast enhancement surgery is one of the most widely performed procedures, helping women to achieve attractive breasts which add to overall physical appeal.
If you are considering a breast enhancement procedure, the first step should be to find an experienced plastic surgeon with vast knowledge about performing the surgery. Strictly following your physician’s instructions. Here are some important tips to help you prepare for your breast augmentation surgery:
- Undergo a detailed medical review or necessary lab tests as advised by your surgeon to see that you are fit to undergo the surgery.
- Ask your surgeon about the medications you may need to take and if any changes have to be made with regard to your current medication.
- It is advisable to take a baseline mammogram before and after the procedure to learn about any future changes that might occur with the breast tissue.
- Avoid smoking well in advance of the surgery and maintain the habit for some time after the surgery, too.
- Stick to a healthy diet during the week of the surgery to keep yourself fit.
- Extremely vigorous exercise is not advisable on the day before the surgery.
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, and herbal supplements as doing so may increase bleeding.
- Understand the routine to be followed on the day of the surgery, the day before, and the day after, to avoid any complications.
- Be sure to get your home ready for recovery — well before the procedure — so that you feel at ease during the recovery period.
Being prepared for your breast augmentation surgery by strictly following the above instructions will contribute to a pleasing surgical experience and facilitate faster recovery.
