Preparing for a Breast Lift in Houston

Any type of surgery, no matter how major or minor, requires you to adequately prepare by taking certain steps to ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible, with minimal complications. A breast lift is no different – there are certain steps you should take in preparing for a breast lift in Houston.

We have compiled these guidelines based on our extensive experience performing breast lifts – and breast surgeries of every type – for our patients in the Greater Houston Area. Our highly-qualified plastic surgeon, Dr. Olivier Deigni, is committed to performing the most advanced and cutting-edge techniques in breast enhancement.

How to Prepare for Your Breast Lift

As a breast lift is a plastic surgery procedure, you will be required to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Deigni. This is your golden opportunity to ask all of your burning questions. If this is your first time getting cosmetic surgery, you may have some general questions about the process. Come prepared with these questions so we can put you at ease and keep you informed.

During the initial consultation, Dr. Deigni will assess your concerns, work with you on your treatment goals, and determine how best to perform the  procedure. We may discuss additional procedures such as a breast augmentation with silicone or saline implants to have even more control over their shape.

During the initial consultation, you should be prepared for our medical team to:

• Take your complete medical history, ensuring that you are the right candidate for the breast lift
• Review the entire procedure with you
• Ensure that the specialized treatment plan will address your needs and goals
• Review the risks, downtime, and recovery of the breast lift
• Recommend lifestyle changes such as eliminating smoking, nicotine products, drinking, aspirin, or blood thinners prior to surgery day
• Recommend a healthy, balanced diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, which can make it easier to make your results last
• Promote a healthy, active lifestyle with a strong exercise regimen to ensure that you maintain your beautiful new body

By thinking about these topics ahead of time, the consultation can be productive and you can set yourself up for a smoother preoperative period.

Think About the Results

If you have any pictures that show the ideal placement of the breasts on a model, it is beneficial to bring those pictures in with you so Dr. Deigni can use them as a guide. You may find that the breasts you are hoping to have will actually require implants in addition to a lift. By properly communicating your goals with us, we can better prepare for this procedure so that you will be satisfied with the final result.
