Breast Augmentation - Surgical Experience
San Diego, Temecula and Inland Empire Plastic Surgeon

Your Surgical Experience

The goal of your plastic surgeon and the entire staff is to make your surgical experience as easy and comfortable for you as possible.

How should I prepare for breast augmentation plastic surgery?

In some instances, San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Kincaid may recommend a baseline mammogram before surgery and another mammographic examination some months after surgery. This will help to detect any future changes in your breast tissue. Following breast augmentation, you will still be able to perform breast self-examination.

If you are a smoker, you will be asked to stop smoking well in advance of surgery. Aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can cause increased bleeding, so you should avoid taking these medications for a period of time before surgery. Your surgeon will provide you with additional preoperative instructions.

Breast augmentation is usually performed on an outpatient basis. If this is the case, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and to stay with you at least the first night following surgery.

What will the day of breast implant surgery be like?

Your breast augmentation in Inland Empire may be performed in a hospital, free-standing ambulatory facility or office-based surgical suite.

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. Frequently, local anesthesia and intravenous sedation are used for patients undergoing breast augmentation,although general anesthesia may be desirable in some instances.

When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. Your breasts will be wrapped in gauze dressings or a surgical bra.

You may be permitted to go home after a few hours, unless you and your plastic surgeon have determined that you will stay in the hospital or surgical facility overnight.

In addition to performing breast augmentation, Dr. Kincaid also performs a variety of other procedures to help San Diego facelift, rhinoplasty, liposuction and tummy tuck patients achieve their aesthetic needs. He also has considerable experience helping La Jolla cosmetic surgery patients with their plastic surgery desires.
