Procedural Steps: Pre-Op
Meet with your physician to discuss your desires and expectations for the procedure in order to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for a cell-enriched cosmetic procedure. This will include an important discussion with your physician regarding your medical history and medications as well as physical, radiological, and possible psychological exams.
Work with your physician to establish specific, realistic goals and develop a surgical and post-operative care plan.
It is strongly advised that you undergo a pre-operative mammogram or MRI to establish a baseline picture of your breast tissues (applies only to breast operations).
At every point of the pre-operative preparations, ask your doctor any
questions
you may have to ensure that you are completely comfortable with the surgery and post-operative care, and expected results.
