Support Person

Preparing Your Support Person Before the Surgery

When you have your breast augmentation surgery, you will need to have a support person with you at the surgery and immediately after your procedure. This person should be able to drive you to and from the surgery, take you to fill prescriptions if needed, and care for you until the general anesthesia has completely worn off. 

Your choice of a support person is extremely important. This individual should completely support your decision to have breast augmentation. Hopefully, they have been with you throughout the process and are there to help you realize your plans to have firmer, larger breasts. They should also know you well enough to be able to speak for you, if necessary, while you are in recovery.

There are some things that your  person needs to know before the day of the surgery. They should be prepared to drive you to and from the appointment, as you will not be able to drive yourself after the surgery. They should also be prepared to help you in and out of the car and into the house. 

Your support person will need to stay with you for the first 24 hours after your surgery. General anesthesia can cause side effects and issues until that point, so it is important that you are not alone. If you can stay with your support person for the night or if they can stay with you, that is best.

You should also prepare your support person to handle your concerns while you are in recovery and unable to think clearly. Make sure that they know where your belongings will be and leave anything valuable directly in their charge. 

If your support person has any questions about your care after breast augmentation surgery, have them speak to your doctor before the surgery, either at the hospital or at an appointment before the day of the surgery.

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.

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.
