PREPARATION FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION IN TORONTO

Breast augmentation is one of the most satisfying procedures for patients ,but many patients are understandably concerned about having a surgical procedure. Proper preparation will ensure efficient healing and a quick return to your daily life.
During the pre-operative consultation for your breast augmentation in Toronto Dr. Carman will provide specific instructions to help prepare for your operation. It is important that you follow these instructions closely in order to attain your desired results and minimize surgical risks.

Toronto breast augmentation surgery patients will be instructed to avoid consumption of certain substances in order to ensure efficient healing after breast augmentation operation. Most common substances to be avoided are nicotine and alcohol. Alcohol should be avoided because it is dehydrating and will dilate blood vessels which may lead to excessive bleeding after surgery. Nicotine, on the other hand, will hinder recovery by obstructing blood flow to areas that need oxygen carried by the blood in order to heal properly. In extreme cases, the skin at the incision line may die resulting in increased scarring when the wound finally heals. Fortunately, this is a rare event, but cutting down or quitting cigarette smoking is always a sensible precaution before any surgery.
The list of substances to be avoided prior to breast augmentation also includes some over the counter medications. Typically, any medication that interferes with coagulation of blood can lead to excessive bleeding and should not be taken for a period of at least two weeks prior to your breast augmentation. Medications containing aspirin (ASA) are in this category.
We also recommend that any herbal supplements be stopped two weeks before surgery. Though most are harmless, there is always the possibility of an untoward reaction with anesthetic drugs which is best avoided.
