Preparing for Breast Enlargement Surgery
Thank you for choosing Foley James D MD for your breast enlargement journey. We understand that undergoing surgery can be an important decision, and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Before your breast enlargement surgery, it's essential to follow some pre-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful procedure. By carefully preparing, you can contribute to a faster recovery and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Consultation and Pre-Surgery Assessment
Prior to your breast enlargement surgery, you will have a thorough consultation with Dr. Foley James. He will evaluate your unique case, discuss your goals, and provide expert guidance. During this consultation, it is crucial to openly communicate your expectations, concerns, and medical history with Dr. Foley James.
Based on your assessment, Dr. Foley James will recommend the most suitable breast enlargement techniques and implant options for you. He will explain the procedure in detail, including the risks, benefits, and expected recovery timeline. Take this opportunity to ask any questions or seek clarifications to ensure you fully understand the process.
Pre-Surgery Instructions
Prior to your breast enlargement surgery, please take note of the following instructions:
- Stop Smoking: If you are a smoker, it is crucial to quit smoking at least six weeks prior to surgery. Smoking can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
- Review Medications: Make sure to inform Dr. Foley James about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking. Certain medications and substances may impact your surgery, so it's essential to follow the recommended guidelines.
- Arrange Transportation: Plan for someone to drive you to and from the surgery center on the day of your procedure. It's important to have a responsible adult with you for the first 24 hours after your surgery.
- Manage Household Tasks: Prior to your surgery, take care of any pending household chores, such as grocery shopping, laundry, and cleaning. Having these tasks completed in advance will allow you to rest and recover without unnecessary stress or physical exertion.
- Fasting Guidelines: Dr. Foley James will provide specific fasting instructions on the day of your surgery. It is important to follow these guidelines to prevent any complications during anesthesia.
- Arrange for Post-Surgery Support: Enlist the support of a trusted family member or friend who can assist you during your recovery period. This person can help with daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands, allowing you to focus on your healing.
- Dress Comfortably: On the day of your surgery, wear loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to put on and take off. Avoid clothing with tight necklines or buttons that can potentially irritate the surgical site.
- Stay Hydrated: It is essential to maintain proper hydration before your surgery. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages in the days leading up to your procedure.
- Follow Presurgical Skin Preparation: Dr. Foley James will provide specific instructions on how to prepare your skin before the surgery. It's important to follow these guidelines to minimize the risk of infection.
- Notify Your Surgeon of Any Changes: If there are any changes in your health, such as a cold, fever, or infection, leading up to your surgery, promptly inform Dr. Foley James. Your safety and well-being are our utmost priority.
