As a busy breast surgery practice we get questions from patients all over the country about a wide variety of issues related to breast augmentation surgery. Over the next year we will address some of the most common questions that we get in our monthly blog posts. In this blog we are going to address the commonly asked question,

“How do I prepare for my breast augmentation surgery?”

The first step to making sure our patients get the results they are hoping for with their breast augmentation is to determine their goals. Some patients want a very subtle change that only they will be aware of. On the other end of the spectrum is those patients who want the world to notice their new implants. Most of our patients ask for a change that gives them more cleavage and fills out their clothes better while still having a natural look.

There are many factors to consider when deciding to undergo breast augmentation. Many patients who visit our office want to know what the recovery will be like. We frequently hear questions regarding time off from work, swelling and scarring. While the specifics of breast augmentation recovery vary from patient to patient, most patients can expect a predictable recovery process.

Breast implant manufacturer Natrelle® recently introduced a new product to the market. The INSPIRA™ line of breast implants was approved by the FDA earlier this year. Women interested in breast augmentation, reconstruction or revision now have more options from which to choose when it comes to implants.
