What Patients Should Expect on the Day of Their Breast Augmentation
On the day of surgery, patients should arrive at Dr. G Cosmetic Surgery Center with their licensed driver.
Anesthesia
All patients receive medications prior to their procedure. These medications are designed to keep the patient comfortable throughout her breast augmentation procedure. Medication options include general anesthesia and IV sedation, both of which are administered by a licensed anesthesiologist. With general anesthesia, patients go into a deep sleep; whereas, with IV sedation, patients are placed in a twilight-type sleep. This twilight sleep can be reversed quickly once the procedure is complete.

Recovering from Breast Implant Surgery in Miami
On occasion, Dr. G will keep a patient overnight. However, Dr. Gershenbaum usually releases his patients to their driver several hours after their breast implant surgery.
Proper After-Care is Essential
Prior to being released to go home, patients receive instructions related to caring for their incisions and drains (when applicable). All the information included in their after-care instructions is designed to help patients avoid complications and monitor their healing. Keeping follow-up appointments with Dr. G at his surgery center in Miami is essential. At these follow-up appointments, Dr. Gershenbaum will remove the patient’s bandages, support bra and drains. He will also remove the sutures and examine her incisions.
At-Home Recovery
After leaving Dr. G's Cosmetic Surgery Center in Miami, patients need to head home and rest for approximately 48 hours. Patients should expect to experience a feeling of constant pressure in the breast area. To remain comfortable during this initial phase of recovery, patients should take their medications as prescribed. Most patients can discontinue their pain medications within 2 to 3 days of their procedure. At this point, the majority of these patients can resume some light
Sometimes the anaesthetist may order that a patient’s normal everyday medications be withheld the day of surgery. This is to ensure that the effect of any sedatives, tranquillisers, anticholinergics or antihistamines for surgery aren’t affected by the patient’s usual medication (Berman, Kozier and Erb, 2012). These surgery medications must be given at the scheduled time or when notified by the operating room to do

Care of the incision and signs to look out for with the incision are addition-al information given to the mother. It is explained to the mother that she should have support at home for care of baby and herself since she is recovering from major surgery (Murray & Mckin-ney, 2014, p.343). Normally the staples are removed before discharged if not they are removed by the healthcare provider after discharge. If adhesive strips or a topical skin adhesive is used, she can shower without any issues. The incision is closed with all methods, and should not come apart. The incision should have little to no drainage, and she should call the provider if she notic-es it separate or if drainage increases or it has a foul smell (Murray & Mckinney, 2014, p.344). Signs and symptoms that should be reported to a health care provider after discharge include the following: a fever, any localized area of redness, swelling, or pain in breast. Any persistent ab-dominal tenderness, pelvic fullness or pressure. Any perineal pain, or frequency, urgency or burn-ing during urination, and abnormal change in lochia.

General anaesthetics can affect your memory, concentration and reflexes for a day or two, so it's important for a responsible adult to stay with you for at least 24 hours after your operation, if you're allowed to go home.

During the operation the plastic surgeon will make a cut that encircles the nipple, and proceeds downward on the breast, forming a keyhole shape (1). Following this step, the extra tissue, fat, and skin from the breasts will be removed (1). Upon successful removal, the nipple will be re-positioned (1). Finally, the surgeon close up by draining any excess fluid and then carefully stitching up the breasts (1). Once the stitches are in, the breasts are wrapped in special gauze and certain women may be given a specific surgical bra that they must wear for recovery (1). There are a few different complications that can arise from this procedure. First, anytime a patient is given drugs, they may encounter a bad reaction (2). For this reason, it is vitally important that surgeons and anesthesiologists always verify that the patient has no known allergies to any medications they might
