Prior to breast augmentation surgery, it is essential to have a consultation with your surgeon to determine the best procedure for you.

Be clear about the desired cup size and shape, so that the doctor can select the appropriate implant type and placement location.

Disclose any prescription or non-prescription medications, allergies or medical conditions to your surgeon.

To ensure a smooth surgery and recovery, it is recommended to quit smoking at least two weeks before the procedure, as smoking can affect anesthesia reactions and prolong the healing process.

In addition, it is advised to stop taking Aspirin, blood-thinning medications, vitamins, and herbs two weeks prior to the surgery to minimize the risk of post-operative bleeding.

Refrain from consuming any food or liquids for six hours before the surgery, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.

On the day of the surgery, remove all jewelry, piercings, and makeup.

After the surgery you should start walking as soon as possible to promote circulation, but refrain from strenuous activity for a few weeks, and wear a sports bra for the first few weeks.

Swelling, bruising, soreness, and mild discomfort are expected for a week or two following the procedure, along with numbness, burning sensations, and heightened sensitivity.

You should avoid swimming pools and baths while the incisions are healing to prevent infection. It is vital to adhere to the recovery plan and attend follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor progress and ensure a smooth recovery.

Some of the most common risks include infection, bleeding, pain, and swelling.

Other possible complications may include capsular contracture, where scar tissue forms around the implant and causes it to harden, and implant rupture or leakage.

There is also a small risk of developing breast cancer, which may be more challenging to detect due to the presence of the implant.

Some individuals may experience changes in breast sensation, shape, or size, while others may require additional surgeries to correct complications or replace implants.

You should discuss the potential risks and complications with your surgeon before deciding to undergo breast implant surgery.
