Does all make up have to be removed prior to my breast augmentation?

SunnyJDApr 17, 2015
This question may sound stupid but I was told that I had to go into surgery with absolutely no make up on. Does this include fake eyelashes? I was considering getting professional individual lashes that last approximately 6 weeks but my BA surgery is coming up. Will this be ok?

It's been my experience that smaller implants drop sooner than larger ones. That is not to say that every case is the same. I would discuss this with your doctor.

Most anaesthesiologists would use an endotracheal mask for a breast augmentation. This is less invasive than an endotracheal tube. However it is something you would have to discuss on an individual basis.

Thank you for your question.  It isn't necessarily common to have a breakout after a breast augmentation, I don't think it is due to the implants.  It could just be a skin irritation from the surgical bra or something that you are wearing.  It shouldn't have anything to do with...
