Make sure to tell Julie Kupersmith, MD, PC about any preexisting medical conditions or medications you are taking. In some cases, we might recommend that you abstain from using aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications before and after the procedure to minimize your risk of bleeding. You might need to talk to your primary physician about alternative prescription medications.
You will need to avoid eating or drinking after midnight the day before the procedure. It’s a good idea to dress in loose fitting clothes to help make dressing and moving easier after the breast lift.
You should plan to take some time off from work and avoid strenuous activities for at least a week after the procedure. Most breast lifts and breast augmentation procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis and often requires that you be fully sedated. You will need to arrange to have someone drive you home and help out for a few days while you get back on your feet.
It’s not uncommon for Julie Kupersmith, MD, PC to insert a small plastic tube under your skin to help drain minor postoperative bleeding. Your surgeon will explain to you how to properly care for it and any stitches, bandages, or dressings.
