Answer: Can I take anything to calm me down There are several classes of medication one can take prior to surgery to help calm oneself down. However, this should be discussed thoroughly with your physician. These include the Valium like medications and then there are other medications, for example clonidine, which has anti-anxiety effects. However, these should not be taken without your physician's knowledge. There are also some legal considerations. For example, consent forms for the operation, the facility, or the anesthesiologist may not be effective if a patient is on certain medications. A strategy can be aligned with your physician to help you get through the anxiety producing time leading up to surgery.

Answer: Anxiety and surgery Thank you for your question. Each Surgeon will have their own protocol on what they allow or don't allow in regards to pre operative medications. I would suggest speaking with your Surgeon of choice to discuss your concerns. Best of luck to you.

Answer: I prescribe Valium for my patients-Always best to check with your surgeon's protocol I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
