Breast Augmentation

What happens after you meet your surgeon?

After discussing Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement) surgery with the doctor, you will most likely speak with the patient care or surgical coordinator. You'll most likely be given a quote and you'll have the opportunity to schedule a day and time for your Breast Augmentation.

Many practices will perform the Breast Enlargement within a nearby hospital, accredited office-based surgery center, or an ambulatory surgery center outside of the office.

Preparation (Pre-Op)

Once you book your Breast Augmentation you may be asked to get certain lab work performed, receive a medical evaluation from your internist or surgeon, stop smoking prior to surgery, and discontinue the use of aspirin, herbal supplements, and other drugs that may increase bleeding.

You should also leave your doctor’s office with a solid understanding of Breast Enlargement, step by step instructions on what to do the night before and morning of surgery, post-operative care instructions, and consents to sign and return regarding anesthesia and your surgery. Before your surgery you will want to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you following surgery, for at least the first night. A post-op care facility focused on plastic and cosmetic surgery patients may be an option.
