During your consultation be prepared to discuss:

• Your surgical goals, like desired bra size. 
• Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments you are taking, vitamins, herbal supplements, consume of alcohol, tobacco and drug use
• Previous surgeries, for example  previous lumps removal from your breasts, or previous mastitis (an infection of your breasts common after pregnancy) 
• Previous diagnostic exams of your breasts, bring every information you have, like ultrasound reports. 

The surgeon will also:

• Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
• Discuss your implants and technique options. 
• Recommend a course of treatment.
• Discuss likely outcomes of breast augmentation and any risks or potential complications
• Dr Mileto will evaluate the shape and size of the breast, the consistency and elasticity of the skin, presence of stretch marks, the mammary gland anatomy and the characteristics of the chest, and will be able to suggest the shape and size of the implant that best fits your physical characteristics, the type of incision and most appropriate type of  technique (subglandular, dual plane eccetera)
• You will also be able to try implants sizes trying a breast implant simulator.

In preparing for breast augmentation, you may be asked to:

• Get lab testing (like a mammogram) or a specific medical evaluation if your medical history requires it. 
• Take certain medications or adjust your current medications. 
• Stop or reduce smoking
• Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding. 
• Stop certain medications (es Roaccutane)
• Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
• You will need to buy a special sports bra before surgery, the surgeon will tell you what kind of garment to buy, and for how long to use it.

• Request at least one week off work for your procedure, depending on the type of job you have (sedentary/moving). 
• Do not eat or drink anything 6 hours prior to the surgery. 
• Take slippers and a dressing gown with you to the hospital.
• Do not wear any lotions, creams, hairspray or perfume on the day of surgery.
• Dress in loose, comfortable clothing, including tops that zip or button up in the front. 

After surgery, the patient will have to wear a sports bra for about 1 month. The stitches are adsorbable, so they do not need removal. The wounds will need to be covered with dressings for 1 to 2 weeks. 

The period of convalescence after a breast augmentation is short; the patient usually returns to work after 1-2 weeks, being careful to avoid arm effort and suspend physical activities for 6 weeks.
