Preparation for Breast Augmentation in Dallas

A breast augmentation is an exciting step for many women. At North Texas Plastic Surgery (NTPS), we understand the blend of anticipation and nervousness that comes with preparing for this transformation!

Our Board-certified and Board-eligible plastic surgeons have performed countless implant insertions and can prepare you for everything that is involved with this procedure. Here is what you can expect during your preparation for breast augmentation.

Schedule Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

The first step in your planning is to reach out to one of our five offices to schedule a personalized consultation about what you are hoping to get out of it. You can call our office or fill out our online form to get started. Once we receive your request, we will gather some basic information and set up an appointment that fits your schedule.

Prepare for Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

To prepare for your consult, think about what you hope to achieve with your augmentation mammoplasty. You can bring some photos of models or celebrities, or even personal friends, that reflect your desired outcome so we know exactly what the goal is going to be.

You should also prepare a summary of your medical history, including any previous surgeries, allergies, or current medications and supplementations. Finally, write down any questions or concerns you have, as our elite surgeons will be more than happy to address them during your consultation.

Meet With Your Plastic Surgeon

When you arrive at our office in Dallas, you will be greeted by our warm and professional staff, who will help you assess your candidacy and plan your breast augmentation surgery. During your consultation, you will:

• Discuss your goals and share your vision with our surgeons so they can understand your expectations
• Learn about our breast augmentation options and explore the various implant types and surgical techniques
• Undergo a physical exam that will help us determine the most suitable approach for your body type

To ensure the chosen procedure aligns with your daily routine, be open about your lifestyle and activity level. Mention any health issues, no matter how minor they may seem. Finally, make sure to discuss the recovery process and any support you will need afterward – it is important to be prepared for the recovery phase well in advance!

Prepare for Your Surgery Day

There are essential steps to follow as your surgery date approaches to ensure everything goes smoothly. Before you arrive at our in-office surgical facility to receive your breast implants, you should be fully prepared by following the instructions our team provided you at your consultation. These instructions will include:

• Guidance on which medications or supplements to avoid since some can increase bleeding, interact with wound healing, or complicate the anesthesia
• Instructions on when to stop eating and drinking before your surgery
• Instructions to stop smoking and using recreational drugs, including nicotine, vape, and marijuana, for at least four weeks prior to your procedure
• Recommendations for a specific skin regimen you may need to follow, avoiding any new skincare products that could cause unexpected skin reactions
• Advice on minimizing your exposure to heavy metals by eating light, balanced meals a day or two before to decrease nausea after anesthesia

Logistics Around Your Surgery Day

On the day of your surgery, you will need to do the following:

• Arrange for transportation, as you will need someone to drive you home from our facility after the procedure
• Set up a comfortable resting area at home with essential items within easy reach, so you have a space to recover
• Arrange for someone to assist with childcare or pet care, if applicable, during your initial recovery period
• Leave jewelry at home and wear glasses instead of contact lenses on the day of surgery, if needed

Choosing NTPS means partnering with a team that is wholly dedicated to your well-being and satisfaction as you prepare for your breast augmentation.
