What You Should Know Before and After a Boob Lift

Patients are likely to have many questions before and after boob lift surgery. Before you have a breast lift, you may need to have lab testing or a medical evaluation and take certain medications or adjust how you’re taking certain medications. You may also need to have a baseline mammogram before and after boob lift surgery, quit smoking, arrange for help during recovery, be at a healthy weight, and avoid certain medications that increase bleeding such as aspirin.

During your first visit, we will review your medical history and discuss your expectations. Smoking before and after a boob lift can lead to poor blood circulation and increase the risk of complications. Prepare your home and schedule so that you can recover in a relaxed, stress-free environment.

When you’re planning what you’ll do before and after a boob lift, remember that what you do during recovery will have a major impact on your results. Take time to rest and sleep as much as you’ll need. Avoid strenuous activity such as pushing, pulling, and heavy lifting. Avoid too much exposure to the sun to help your scars heal and fade. You may also need to avoid sleeping on your stomach or placing any kind of added pressure on your chest. Sleeping in an elevated position can help to reduce discomfort and swelling.
