During your consultation be prepared to discuss:

• Why you want the surgery, your expectations, and the desired outcome
• Medical conditions, drug allergies, and previous medical treatments
• Current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use
• Family history of breast cancer and results of any mammograms or previous biopsies

Your plastic surgeon will also:

• Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
• Examine and measure your breasts, including detailed measurements of their size and shape, skin quality, and placement of your nipples and areolas
• Take photographs
• Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment
• Discuss likely outcomes of breast augmentation and any risks or potential complications

Prior to surgery, you may be asked to:

• Get a blood test
• Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
• Stop smoking
• Avoid taking aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs as they can increase bleeding

Breast augmentation surgery may be performed in an accredited outpatient or ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.
