Consult With Your Surgeon

Your preparation begins with a thorough consultation. Share your goals and expectations so your surgeon can recommend the right implant size, type, and placement for your body. Ensure you’re both on the same page regarding your desired result and what can realistically be achieved.

Follow Pre-Surgery Instructions

Your surgeon will provide detailed pre-operative instructions. Stop smoking several weeks before surgery, since smoking can slow healing and increase risks. Certain medications, like blood thinners or anti-inflammatories, may need to be paused to reduce bleeding risk. Always follow your doctor’s guidance carefully.

Get Healthy and Stay Hydrated

Eat a diet with lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables to support your body’s post-surgery healing process. Staying hydrated before surgery helps support circulation and promote recovery. Regular light exercise can also help your body bounce back more easily.

Plan for Recovery Ahead of Time

Arrange for a trusted person to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first 24-48 hours. Stock up on comfortable clothing, easy-to-prepare meals, and extra pillows to keep you propped up while you rest. Fill any prescriptions in advance to avoid last-minute trips to the pharmacy.

Take Care of the Details

Make sure you have all your questions answered before the big day. Confirm arrival times, what to bring, and how to dress; typically loose, button-up tops are best.
