Preparation For Breast Reconstruction Surgery

By Gary Motykie, MD

Breast reconstructive plastic surgery is a major procedure involving an extensive treatment process. The patient should be prepared to make the time commitment necessary for the surgery. The surgeon will provide the patient with detailed preparatory guidelines for the reconstruction surgery.

Astute cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides breast reconstruction to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

Preparing for Breast Reconstruction Surgery

The patient will need to undertake the following preparatory steps prior to the breast reconstruction procedure:

At-Home Preparation

The patient can transition seamlessly from the surgical facility to her home by making some advance preparations prior to the breast reconstruction procedure, including:

Loose Clothes

The patient may not be able to wear a top that pull over her head for some days after the reconstruction surgery. It is a good idea to procure some loose front-open shirts and sweatshirts beforehand. Sweatshirts with internal pockets can be useful for storing the drain pipes.

Other Suggestions

Before the surgery, the patient should place some extra pillows and blankets on her bed. She may set-up a bedside recovery station on a nightstand with a mobile phone, remotes, magazines, a handheld mirror, and a medicine box.

Furthermore, she should arrange for some measuring cups in the bathroom for drain tube evacuation as recommended by the surgeon. The patient should also arrange for aftercare according to her specific needs to enjoy a relaxed and comfortable recovery period.
