For our patients in Houston breast augmentation preparation can be exciting and at the same time stressful. Choosing to make plans before the plastic surgery can be beneficial. This is because it will ensure that you have a smooth recovery period and surgery too. In order to avoid stress before breast augmentation surgery, below are 12 tips recommended by Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schusterman:
It is important to have someone drive you to and from the hospital before and after your breast augmentation surgery. You should also have a relative or friend to take care of you during the first 24 hours after the procedure.
People with children will want to arrange for their care too. You should have plenty of crackers and fluids as well as additional food before the surgery. Have minimal responsibilities at work and at home to allow for recovery time.
Have you prescribed medicines filled in and place them in a convenient place. Ensure your physician knows about any herbs, supplements or medications that you are presently taking. Ask your doctor the ideal time to resume workout, having sex and driving. Carry a small bag with your paperwork and medications.
Smokers should stop or reduce smoking before and sometimes after the surgery. Ensure you have an open discussion with your doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol and eat a balanced diet before the surgery.
Even though exercising is good, avoid engaging in vigorous workouts before breast augmentation surgery.
