What to Expect on the Day of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Augmentation Surgery

What to Expect the Day of Breast Augmentation Surgery

You have met with the doctor, had your consultation, and had a pre-op appointment, and now it is time for your breast augmentation surgery! This journey has likely been an exciting one up to this point, but it is important that you have reasonable expectations for the day of your surgery. Here’s what you need to know.

Getting to the Surgical Center

You will  want to plan to arrive at the surgical center where your procedure will take place at least an hour before the procedure is scheduled. This is to give the nurses time to prepare you for surgery. You will also meet with an anesthesiology team (if you haven’t already met with them prior to your surgery) and they will go over your medical history and discuss with you your past experiences with general anesthesia. 

Going to the Operating Room

Most patients don’t remember much after entering the operating room. Once there, the anesthesiologist will administer the anesthesia, usually through an IV drip. Soon after the IV is started, you will be unconscious, and the surgery will begin. The procedure only takes about an hour.

Leaving the Surgery Center

When you leave the surgery center, you will still be under the influence of anesthesia, and you will be unable to drive yourself home. As preparation, you should have had someone lined up to take you to the surgery, stay with you while there,  and drive you home afterwards.

What To Expect At Home

Because you were under anesthesia and this is an outpatient procedure, you will need to have someone stay with you for the first 24 hours after your surgery. The person that is with you during the procedure will be given instructions about signs to watch for as you begin your recovery.

    I came to Dr. Mosiello’s practice as a reluctant patient who had just been given the diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in several doctors’ office’s during my diagnosis and treatment and Dr. Mosiello’s office is my favorite. He is a very kind, competent surgeon who patiently answered questions and explained things fully. I was given clear post op directions and checked on by the nurse before my first post op visit and someone was always available if I had a question or concern. His staff is amazing! Melissa, Paula, Mary and Carol are all very personable and caring. This is also an office where I did not wait long periods of time to be seen. Things run smoothly and timely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mosiello to anyone in need of a plastic surgeon.

    I love Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery ~ Dr. Moseillo, Mary, Nancy & Paula. I had breast cancer and reconstruction with Dr. Moseillo several years ago and knew I would never let anyone perform surgery on me other than him. I decided I wanted to do an Upper Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). I had the surgery a few months ago, am now at my summer home in Maine and everyone is commenting on how great I look. They have no idea that I had anything done! I keep hearing, “you have amazing eyes”. I am so thrilled with the results, feel 10 years younger and if you’re thinking about this procedure, or any other for that matter, do not hesitate to go to Tampa Palms ?

    Dr. Mosiello taught me how to live again after having breast cancer. His staff is truly a blessing. He is an amazing artist and a wonderful Doctor and friend.

    Dr. Mosiello, plain and simply put , is the BEST ! I did a lot of research and he was the one I chose and am very thankful and grateful that I did, as I had consulted with other plastic surgeons from other cancer centers. Dr. Mosiello surpassed in every area. He and his staff truly care and are warm, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Which takes the stress out of any pre surgery or procedure. Knowing you have the best surgeon in your corner is the most important part. Post surgical procedures look amazing and he has saved my life, and has made me whole again. Look no further, he IS the best.
