How Do I Prepare Myself For Breast Implant Removal?
Women opt to have their implants removed for a variety of reasons…
Some women have their breast implants removed because they do not like the way their larger and fuller chest looks or feels. Others may have more immediate reasons to remove their implants, such as a complication with the implant (like capsular contracture or bottoming out, where the implant slips out of place).
In this piece, we will be sharing ways to prepare yourself for better a breast implant removal procedure. Certain steps must be taken prior to undergoing the procedure to ensure optimal recovery. In preparing for breast implant removal, it is advisable to:
Get your free consultation with Glojas.
The first step in preparing for breast implant removal is to schedule a consultation with Glojas experts where we will examine your breasts, discuss your goals and concerns, and explain the risks and benefits of the surgery during the consultation. A medical examination will be performed as well to ensure that you are a good candidate for the surgery. A breast examination, mammogram, or other imaging tests may be included.
Stop taking certain medications.
To reduce the risk of bleeding, certain medications, such as blood thinners, should be stopped prior to surgery. A list of medications to avoid will be provided during your consultation.
Make a list of the health issues you are experiencing.
If potential health issues are driving your decision to have your breast implants removed, bring a list of the symptoms you’re experiencing. Painting a better picture of your health will allow Glojas experts to make a more accurate diagnosis of the problems at hand.
Make arrangements for transportation and assistance
The surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia. You will need to arrange transportation to and from Glojas clinic, as well as someone to assist you with daily tasks for a few days following the surgery.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Alcohol causes blood thinning, which can result in a longer healing time and more bruising, and nicotine may cause delayed healing and increase the likelihood of post-operative complications. Be sure to stay hydrated before the breast implant removal surgery.
