What to bring to pre-op?

Thank you for your question. You can bring whatever you think will help you and your doctor understand what you are looking for and what will help you make the best decision for yourself.  Choosing a breast implant size is completely up to the patient, you just are given certain guidelines of what will fit your body.  You should be able to try on some implant sizers to help you make that decision, so whatever you feel looks best to you.  You need to understand that you won't look exactly like you do with the sizers on, but it gives you a pretty good idea.I have put together a breast augmentation planner that I think will be helpful for you as you are preparing for your pre-op appointment.  You can download a free copy of it at ABetterBreast.com.

Patients may bring photos to their appointment.
At consultation, many plastic surgeons
use implant sizers to help determine breast implant size.  Past patient preoperative and postoperative
photos are reviewed to help educate about surgical results.

It is important to realize that breast implant surgery depend upon individual’s anatomy and realistic expectations are
essential.

I would suggest meeting with your surgeon and discussing your desires and concerns. Bring photos or bras or anything else you want him/her to see. The decisions about what size, style, incision, look, etc, should be made prior to the day of surgery. Remember, your body is unique and you may not get the exact look as another women even with the same size implants.
