There's no exact timing, but in my practice I would advise you to stop 6 weeks before surgery.
Dear deanna1971,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Hello Deanna. If you were my patient I'd have you not donate plasma for at least two weeks before surgery. The longer the better to ensure that you are tuned up for your surgery. Donating can dehydrate you and make your blood volume lower and could contribute to poor recovery. Good luck!
Hello and thank you for your questionTo ensure that your body is as strong as possible on the day of your surgery, it is recommended to stop donating plasma at least two to four weeks before your appointment. However, each surgeon has their own recommendations, so talk with your board certified plastic surgeon about preparing for surgery.
Thanks for your inquiry. The protocol for each surgeon will vary somewhat, but the standard range of time may be anywhere from two to four weeks before your procedure. Choose a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation and ask this question at your initial consultation so you know how to plan for your surgery. Best wishes for a safe and successful augmentation process!
Thank you for your question! As long as the top of the waist trainer does not rub on your breast incision, it is ok to wear one 10 days post op breast augmentation. I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Thank you for asking about your breast augmentation recovery.Surgery will make the surgical area warm because there is more blood flow to the area.That said, you may be doing too much this soon after surgery. So report this to your surgeon and be clear as to what limits s/he has on what you can...
It’s great that you’re thinking about mobility so soon after your procedure. Light walking is beneficial and can help with circulation, but walking around a mall for several hours just one day after breast augmentation may be too much too soon. On post-op day one, your body is still adj...
Thank you for your inquiry and I understand your concern. Not all surgeons require patients to stop taking birth control pills before a breast augmentation. If that is a protocol your surgeon follows, it is definitely worth asking whether the NUVARING would be a problem during your procedure....
