you should tell your surgeon before undergoing breast surgery.
Whether you’re thinking about augmentation or
another procedure, these details really do matter.
🌟 1. Why You Want the Surgery 🌟
Understanding your personal reason for getting breast surgery is a key part of planning.
“I want a more balanced figure.” “My job as a model requires a curvier look.” “I feel more confident when I have volume.”
Each patient’s reason is different — and that’s okay! Some feel flat-chested, others want to enhance their career image, and some simply want to feel more beautiful in their own eyes. 💕
🎯 The clearer your goal, the better we can match the surgery to your expectations.
🩺 2. Your Medical History 🩺
This one’s more important than you might think!
Let your surgeon know about:
✂️ Any previous procedures (even fat grafting or fillers!)
🩺 Medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or thyroid issues
💊 Medications and supplements, especially ones like aspirin or Omega-3
These can increase bleeding or interfere with your recovery. Even “small” details can make a big difference during surgery!
🏃♀️ 3. Your Lifestyle 🛌
Yes — your habits help us customize the best plan for you.
🧘♀️ Do you play sports or do high-impact workouts? 🛌 Do you sleep on your back, your side, or your stomach?
For example, sleeping mostly on your left side may cause a slight shift in implant position over time. Smooth implants don’t adhere to tissue, so your movement and posture play a big role!
Your everyday routine helps us choose the right implant type and placement. 🙌
👗 4. Your Clothing Style 👙
Believe it or not, your fashion preferences also matter!
🪡 Love tank tops or frequently raise your arms? ➡️ We may reconsider an armpit incision.
💖 Want fuller cleavage? ➡️ We can place implants closer together for that defined center line.
👠 Are you a model or performer? ➡️ A natural shape might suit your lifestyle better.
Also, talk to us about:
Marriage or pregnancy plans 🤰
Weight loss goals ⚖️ (even losing 5–10kg can impact breast tissue)
We’ll factor all of it into your plan to keep your results long-lasting and beautiful.
⏳ Consultations Take Time — and That’s a Good Thing! ⏳
A full consultation can take up to 40 minutes. It’s not just about checking boxes — we’re building your custom surgical plan. 📝
Some patients feel shy about sharing everything, thinking the doctor is too busy or their story isn’t important.
But the truth is: your story is everything. 💬 Every detail you give us helps us deliver the result you’re dreaming of. ✨
Don’t be afraid to speak up or ask questions. We’re here to listen, guide, and create the safest, most beautiful result just for you.
