– Take the time to think about your procedure: a cosmetic surgery procedure is an important step and a decision not to be taken lightly. The results of the procedure are permanent, and your body will undergo major changes. Therefore, you must take your time, not rush, weighing the pros and cons. Only when you feel 100 percent ready can you confirm your surgery.

Preparations to make the day before the breast augmentation

The night before your breast augmentation, you will need to take a shower while applying an antiseptic soap. This will help to eliminate some of the germs that can interfere with the procedure. Once you have showered, you should not use cosmetics or any other hygiene products.

When you pack your bag of clothes, choose loose-fitting clothes to wear after the operation, and especially avoid sweaters and tight-fitting clothes. This way, the day after the operation, you will be able to feel more comfortable with your new breast size.

Of course, we advise you to have a good night’s sleep and arrive to the operating room rested.
