Breast Augmentation Checklist - Are you ready for Breast Augmentation?
For Patients in Orlando and Winter Park, Florida
Breast augmentation is major surgery and before you proceed, you should be prepared both physically and mentally. Here is a checklist that can help you get fully prepared.
Choose a fully qualified and highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Greenberg is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery as well as several other national and local medical organizations.
Talk at length with your breast augmentation surgeon. Be sure you’ve told him everything about your health history and conditions. Let him decide whether it’s relevant or not to breast augmentation. Ask lots of questions and make sure that you’re both viewing this procedure in the same light, with the same expectations. Dr. Greenberg will take whatever time you need to understand breast augmentation and will answer all your questions fully.
Make sure that the breast augmentation procedure is done in a proper surgical environment which can be a hospital, an accredited ambulatory surgery facility or an accredited in-office surgical facility. If the surgeon proposes to do the procedure in his/her office, ask if it is accredited and ask if he/she can do the procedure in the hospital if you want to. This assures that the breast augmentation surgeon has been properly credentialed ( only done by hospitals) to do this procedure wherever you choose.
Here are some questions to ask:
- What sort of anesthetic will be used and how will it be administered?
- What type of implants will be used?
- How will they be placed: sub-glandular or sub-muscular?
- Where exactly will the incisions be?
- How long will it take?
- Will the procedure interfere with breastfeeding?
- Will the implants interfere with mammograms?
- What are the possible complications to watch for?
