How to prepare for breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery does not need any special preparation. Yet, when patients make the final decision about the surgery, a plastic surgeon may provide them with some guidelines which can decrease the surgery risks and post-op complications. The most important preparation tips include:

• gather medical history documents, fill in the medical history form when required from the clinic;
• do physical exam;
• stop smoking (at least 2 weeks before the surgery);
• take photographs of your breasts to compare their look later on;
• approve the treatment plan, if you have any doubts, contact a surgeon;
• stop drinking alcohol (at least a week before the surgery);
• keep a healthy diet and care about proper hydration.
