Like any surgery, breast augmentation is
something that needs to be carefully planned and
prepared for. Note all these tips which are
mentioned below

• Keep Your Blood Pressure Down

• You Will Need to Quit Smoking

• You Can and Should Touch Your Implants

• You Need to Pick Your Surgeon Carefully

• You May Have to Abandon Your Plan

3
Keep Your Blood Pressure Down

• Strong emotions can raise your blood pressure.

• This means everything from stress to physical
  exertion to being overly happy is off-limits,
  for at least two weeks after surgery.

• Keep as calm as possible from day to day, as
  increased blood pressure increases the likelihood
  of bleeding issues.

4
You Will Need to Quit Smoking

• You should quit smoking at least two weeks
  before and after your surgery.

• Smoking slows the healing process, can interfere
  with anesthetics, and increases risk of capsular
  contracture, a condition where the implants
  harden and look abnormal.

5
You Can and Should Touch Your Implants

• Perform the massage exercises every two hours
  for two to four weeks following breast
  augmentation.

• Carefully moving the implants around will work
  to keep scar tissue surrounding the implant as
  flexible as possible.

6
Pick Your Surgeon Carefully

• Be sure your doctor is board certified.

• Make sure your surgeon is upfront with you as
  well.

• Surgeon should let you know of all the risks and
  expound on the precautions you can take to lessen
  those risks.

7
You May Have to Abandon Your Plan

• You can have a plan in mind, but your skin may
  not be willing to conform to it.

• It may be your skin is too elastic to only go up
  one cup size, or it may be your desired cup size
  is too large to obtain without permanently
  damaging your skin.

• A good surgeon will take all of this into
  account when sizing your implants.
