There are various steps that one must take as they begin to prepare for breast augmentation surgery. Below are a few of Dr. Sundin’s steps as he goes about the process of breast augmentation. For starters, Dr. Sundin may require you get a mammogram (breast x-ray) before surgery. You’ll also get specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications, including various natural teas and aspirin.

Although most patients are surprised at the minimal discomfort they experience after their surgeries, it is quite common to feel sore for a couple of days. Dr. Sundin will prescribe pain medication and antibiotics after the surgery and encourages you to take both as they will help you relax and be comfortable as you begin to heal. It will be helpful to have a friend or family member help you manage things around the home for the first few days.
