If you'd like to encourage the best possible results from your breast enhancement surgery, you'll need to put in some work prior to your scheduled surgery date. There are a number of things a woman must do in order to be properly prepared for surgery.
When a woman makes the decision to undergo breast enhancement surgery of any kind, there are a number of factors that will contribute directly towards the success of her surgery. For starters, she'll need to choose a board certified, highly experienced plastic surgeon to perform her procedure. The next step will require some discipline on her part; she will need to prepare her body and her mind for the surgery and its recovery process. If you're not willing to prepare yourself for your surgery, there is a good chance you'll end up with poor surgical results.
When it comes to selecting the right surgeon, there are a few things you'll need to take into consideration. Obviously, you'll want to select a properly qualified surgeon. You'll need to choose a surgeon that has adequate training as well as board certification in the exact procedure that you're interested in. Additionally, you'll want to select a surgeon that has many years of experience performing the procedure. He or she should have an extensive library of 'before and after' photographs. You can (and should) research a surgeon's education and training before you hire him to perform your procedure.
Once you've narrowed down your list of potential surgeons you'll want to find a few of his or her previous patients. While every surgeon will have a list of testimonials on his website and his brochures, you should try to perform research beyond those obvious biased testimonials. You should try to locate a few of the surgeon's previous patients and speak with them directly. Most surgeons have a list of previous clients that are open to talking about their experience. They will provide a list of names and phone numbers so that you can call each patient in turn and talk to them. You should also try to find a few of their previous patients on your own by joining online plastic surgery user groups and forums. You'll find plenty of men and women who've undergone various types of plastic surgery and are open to discussing their experiences with other people.
Do you have a close friend or family member that will be willing to spend three or four days with you immediately following your surgery? You will need someone to dedicate a few days of their time towards your care. That person will also need to drive you to the hospital and back home from the hospital after your surgery. Some surgeons like to prescribe a mild sedative to patients so that they get a good night's sleep prior to their surgery and that sedative can affect them for next 48 hours. Additionally you'll feel drugged up from the anesthesia immediately following your procedure; driving yourself home after surgery is definitely not a good idea!
Certain medications can adversely affect your surgery. Any medication that thins the blood or restricts blood clotting is generally off limits for a few weeks (or more) prior to your surgery. Blood thinners come in all forms: prescription, over the counter, teas, and even herbal remedies. You'll need to create a list of all the medications that you take and give that list to your surgeon. Be as thorough as you can when making that list as your life literally depends on it! Your surgeon will determine which items you can keep taking and which ones you can't.
While your surgeon's skill level certainly contributes to the success of your surgery, there is considerably responsibility that falls on your shoulders for preparing your body and mind for the surgery. Your surgeon will provide you with a pre surgery preparation guide as well as a post surgery preparation guide. Follow his suggestions to the letter and you'll most likely have great results from your surgery.
