Top Dos and Don’ts To Ensure The Best Breast Augmentation Results
A breast augmentation is a very common procedure performed on women looking to boost their cup size. However, before you undergo this cosmetic surgery, there are certain things you should and shouldn’t do to ensure you get the safest and best results.
These include:
1. DO Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
The most important step in ensuring you get the safest breast augmentation results is choosing the right plastic surgeon. You have to do your research and select a surgeon who has the experience and aesthetic philosophy that will get you your desired results.
When searching for a plastic surgeon, always make sure they have:
- Board-Certification: Board certified plastic surgeons commit themselves to more comprehensive education and they operate under stricter standards for patient care and safety.
- The Required Experience. To get the most pleasing results, you must ensure that the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with your desired procedure.
- Good communication skills. You must have a good relationship with your surgeon and feel comfortable talking to them about any concerns you may have before and after your surgery.
HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT PLASTIC SURGEON FOR YOUR NEEDS
2. NEVER Get a Breast Augmentation to Please Someone Else
One way to end up dissatisfied with your breast augmentation results is to have the procedure for the wrong reasons, including doing it for someone else. You should only choose to go forward with a cosmetic procedure if it is something you genuinely want.
Before undergoing the surgery, examine your reasons for wanting a breast augmentation carefully and discuss them honestly with your plastic surgeon.
3. DO Schedule a Plastic Surgery Consultation
Having a plastic surgery consultation is a key part of ensuring you get the breast augmentation results you want. During this appointment, your plastic surgeon can help you understand all your options and what kind of results you can realistically expect.
During this consultation, you will discuss:
- Your suitability for the procedure
- Your lifestyle and medical history
- Any aesthetic goals you have
- What type of implants you want
Tip: Before you go for your consultation, write out a list of questions you want to discuss with your surgeon. This will give you peace of mind and keep you fully informed on all aspects of the procedure.

4. DON’T Smoke Before Your Procedure
Before and after you undergo a breast augmentation procedure, or any cosmetic surgery, you must STOP smoking for at least 4 weeks. Smoking and surgery make a bad combination because:
- Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constrict, which places you at a greater risk for surgical complications.
- Smoking hinders your body to heal quickly and properly.
- Smoking increases your risk of cancer, changes your skin texture, and causes premature aging.
