Preparing for mammoplasty surgery
During a preliminary consultation, you and your surgeon will find the ideal implants for you. The shape, size and material of silicones are tailored to your wishes and medical advice.
Proper preparation can significantly reduce the risk of complications. Before the operation, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination. At the preliminary consultation, you must inform about the previously transferred and existing diseases of the internal organs, about all operations performed on you, allergic reactions and what caused them.
The list of doctors’ recommendations is always individual and is formed on the basis of information about the patient’s health.
Operation Process
Breast augmentation takes place under general anesthesia. The procedure itself takes an average of 2 to 3 hours. Before the operation, you are thoroughly examined primarily by a doctor and an anesthesiologist, so we can be sure that you will perform the operation successfully.
If necessary, make a list of all your questions for your surgeon in advance so that you can participate in a well-prepared consultation on your own. During the consultation, a Russian-speaking plastic surgery consultant will be with you.
