Breast augmentation mammoplasty can be considered by individuals seeking changes to their body contour. The decision to undergo such a procedure is personal and should be made with thorough education and support. It’s important to follow pre-procedure instructions to support a smooth process and recovery.

Pre-procedure Instructions

It’s essential to adhere to the guidance provided by your surgeon, which may include:

• Smoking Cessation: It’s imperative to cease smoking at least two weeks before and after the procedure to support the healing process.
