Planning Your Breast Augmentation: How Long Between Consultation and Final Results?

Planning Your Breast Augmentation

For patients who want to enhance the size or shape of their breasts, breast augmentation is often an excellent option. This common cosmetic procedure can effectively increase the fullness of the breasts, as well as improve the symmetry between the breasts and correct other cosmetic irregularities. 

As is the case with virtually all cosmetic procedures, a consultation will precede the surgical procedure. Many patients wonder how long they’ll need to wait in between the consultation and the final results of breast augmentation. Let’s learn more about the time frame involved in this procedure, as well as the factors to consider as you begin planning your breast augmentation.

Considerations when Planning Your Breast Augmentation Timing

To ensure that the recovery period after breast augmentation is as comfortable and effective as possible, you should consider a few factors as you schedule appointments. These include:

Swelling, bruising, and discomfort

After breast augmentation surgery, patients typically have some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. These symptoms usually take a few weeks to disappear. In the first few days after the procedure, swelling and pain can be effectively treated with prescription medication, compression, and cold packs. It’s wise to time your surgery with these symptoms in mind. 

Work schedule/Vacation schedule

Patients can typically go back to work within a few days after breast augmentation surgery, depending upon your occupation. Planning is important to ensure that you can take time off the week immediately after surgery to recover if you feel this is necessary.  Travel plans may need to be modified to allow yourself time for optimal healing so you can fully enjoy your vacation and participate in all the fun activities you may have scheduled.

Exercise

It’s important to follow all the post-operative recommendations and avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks after breast augmentation surgery so that the area can fully heal. If you lead a physically active lifestyle, make sure to schedule your breast augmentation at a time when you can completely rest and recover. 

Breast Augmentation: Typical Time Between the Consultation and Surgery

Typically, plastic surgeons’ offices book appointments two to four weeks in advance, so you may expect your breast augmentation surgery to be a few weeks after the initial consultation. If you have a specific date in mind for the surgery, you should discuss this with the office staff far enough in advance to secure your preferred appointment dates. 

You will see Dr. Mosiello in the office one more time prior to surgery for a pre-op visit where your final implant selection will be made, your photos will be taken, you will sign consent forms, and you will make your final payments.  A shopping list of items to purchase in preparation for surgery will be provided and you will receive prescriptions for your medications so you can have everything ready. Proper planning makes for a prepared patient! You will also receive specific post-operative instructions to follow that will make your recovery seamless. This visit allows you an opportunity to have any last-minute  questions addressed so you can feel comfortable and confident moving ahead. 

Don’t hesitate to contact Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery today at 813-631-1500 about planning your breast augmentation consultation.

    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, 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.
