Common Breast Enhancement Surgery Questions
By A Aaronson
If you are considering having breast enhancement surgery, also commonly referred to as breast augmentation, you will likely have many questions about the procedure itself as well as what you should expect during the weeks and months immediately following your surgery.
It is normal as a patient to have a lot of questions and it is important that you seek out the answers to any questions you might have prior to your surgery date. This understanding will help you to know if this is the right procedure for you, as well as to help you feel more at ease with your ultimate decision on whether or not to have an +augmentation done.
What should I do to prepare for breast enhancement surgery?
Your plastic surgeon will provide you with materials and instructions on exactly what you should do to prepare for your surgery. However, one of the biggest things you should do is to stop smoking at least a month prior to your surgery date. This will help your body to heal much quicker and lessen the possibility of any complications.
In addition, you should make arrangements for someone to help take care of you and your home in the week or two following your procedure because your body will need sufficient time to heal itself.
How will I look and feel after surgery?
Once your breast enhancement surgery is completed, you will be taken to an area where you can recover from the effects of anesthesia under careful monitoring for any complications you might be faced with. From there you will either be placed in a hospital room overnight or allowed to go home.
A normal part of a breast enhancement surgery recovery is that you will be placed in a tight-fitting support bra and sometimes additional bandages as well. Your plastic surgeon will give you specific instructions on bandage removal and personal care such as showering.
Just after your breast enhancement surgery you will likely be uncomfortable, however you will be allowed out of bed and expected to move around as this will help with blood circulation and healing. You will be instructed to walk around and keep the blood flowing in your body as much as practical.
Within the first week after your surgery you will have any stitches removed and will get further instructions on wearing support bras and any bandages which are necessary.
At this time you will also have recovered through the worst part of the pain and swelling. As time passes your surgeon will instruct you on what activities can be safely performed and what level of activity you will be able to perform as well.
What results should I expect?
As the months pass after your surgery, and your body heals, you should expect to see firmer and larger breasts. While you will always have scars from the surgery, over time they will fade and you can expect long-lasting results. If you maintain your weight, you can expect a firm and larger breasts for many years to come following breast enhancement surgery.
How long do I need to continue to see my plastic surgeon?
Once you have healed from surgery, you will need to see your plastic surgeon once to check for proper healing, and then possibly a few times after that just to make sure that you're healing well and getting the most from your surgery. It is very important that you keep these appointments and allow your plastic surgeon to evaluate your healing for any problems which may occur.
