Preparing for breast surgery

There are several things that you need to do to prepare yourself for a breast augmentation surgery.
If you are considering having the surgery done, the first step is to have a lab test and medical examination done by your regular doctor. You want to
be sure that you are in your best health possible before getting plastic surgery done. Your primary physician can examine you and see if this is a
surgery that you can have and recover from well.

You may need to take certain medications or change the medications that you are currently on to be able to have the surgery. Many times if you are on
an anti-depressant or other mood drug, then your doctor will want you to see a psychiatrist to make sure that you are making the right decision.

Be sure to have a baseline mammogram before and after the surgery. This will help to detect any changes in your breast tissue. Sometimes a womans
body's will reject the implants and need to have special procedures done to prevent serious problems. If you are a smoker, then you will want to quite
smoking well before your breast enlargement surgery. Smoking can cause problems with the anesthesia
that you will have to be under during the surgery.

It can also cause problems with breathing after the surgery, so it is best to quit to avoid future problems. You will also want to avoid taking certain
medicines like aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements before your surgery because they can increase your bleeding and cause
complications. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any pre-op or post-op precautions that you should take. Follow these instructions carefully and if
you have any questions, be sure to ask. That is what your doctor is there for!

If you have any questions such as can i breast feed after breast surgery or inverted nipples corrected to questions about the size and
placement of your breast implant these are best dicussed direct with your cosmetic surgeon at a consultation.
