Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most popular procedures performed by Our surgeon of the Winter Park, Florida area. When women are about to undergo this surgery, they often ask their plastic surgeon about how they can prepare. The team at The Bougainvillea Clinique Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Day Spa are excited to offer information regarding the preparation required by patients before they undergo treatment at our state-of-the-art surgical center. 

How to prepare for breast augmentation surgery 

In preparing for an upcoming breast augmentation procedure, Our surgeon will recommend the following: 

• Talk to the doctor about the medications you are taking and if any of them need to be stopped prior to the surgery date
• If you smoke cigarettes, it is highly recommended that you stop prior to your procedure
• Avoid taking certain medications that can increase the risk of bleeding, including aspirin and some anti-inflammatory drugs
• Outpatient breast augmentation procedures will often require patients to arrange for transportation to and from the surgical center
• Healing and recovery from breast augmentation takes time, so patients will need to arrange time off of work, school, and social activities until they have their post-operative appointment with our surgeon and receive approval to return
• Wear clothing that is loose and comfortable, and can be removed and put back on without listing your arms above your head
• Your doctor will recommend that you avoid food after a certain time the night before to prepare for anesthesia
