Preparing for your breast augmentation surgery requires careful planning and consideration of your goals for results. You need to understand what your body will be going through as it heals post-surgery. You will need adequate rest time and the ability to minimize your movements to protect your body as it heals.

Here are three tips to prepare for your breast augmentation procedure in the interim.

1. Know If You’re a Candidate

Candidates for breast augmentation are individuals who want to enhance the shape of their breasts, increase breast volume following pregnancy, restore breast symmetry, or reconstruct the breasts after injury or mastectomy. Candidates have realistic expectations for results and an understanding of the recovery protocols they must follow to protect their bodies. You must be committed to the process if breast augmentation is something you’re ready for!

2. Make Plans in Advance

It is important that you take time to make plans in advance to prepare for your breast augmentation surgery. You may want to make arrangements at least a month in advance to cover all the bases. In your list of to-dos, make sure to note the following:

• You’ll need someone to drive you home after surgery to account for pain medications that may inhibit your mental clarity. Make sure you have informed your designated driver of your appointment date so that they are ready to meet you then.
• Be sure to have all the supportive garments you need to continue healing without delay.
• Make sure that you have made childcare arrangements to avoid excess movement from activities like cleaning, picking up your child, etc. You want to make this time entirely about your rest, so get the help you need to take care of things at home.

3. Use Your Consultation to Your Advantage

During your consultation, be sure to go over every question you have about your breast augmentation procedure. If you have specific questions about your procedure, this is the time to ask! Your provider will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Being mentally prepared will help you feel more relaxed on the day of your procedure.
