Can I combine breast augmentation surgery with another procedure?
Absolutely. Breast augmentation surgery is often combined with a breast lift, liposuction, eye surgery and other surgeries. Ask Dr. Ricciardelli about the other procedures you might be interested in scheduling. It’s a great way to save money and you can recover all at the same time.
What do I need to do before surgery?
Most likely you will need a current mammogram (within one year) to serve as a baseline comparison picture of your breast. Come to your consultation with information on your medical history such as pregnancy, weight fluctuations and any medications that you are taking. Dr. Ricciardelli will thoroughly discuss your goals, expectations, risks and you will be given written information on your surgery. We love an informed patient. So write down your questions and bring a list as a reminder. Dr. Ricciardelli will answer all your questions.
What can I expect during and after surgery?
Your privacy and safety are very important to us. On the day of your surgery you will park in a designated, convenient space in back of the Summit building close to the private back door entrance of our office. Your surgery will most likely take one and a half to two hours in our AAAASF (Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities) certified operating suite. After the procedure, you will wake up in our warm and caring recovery suite. Our certified recovery nurse will coordinate your care with your designated driver when you are ready to return home that day. You will be given detailed instructions for your specific needs. Expect to have possible bruising, swelling and tenderness of the breasts after surgery. Dr. Ricciardelli will call you in the evening to check-in on your progress as well as see you back in the office for your post-operative visits. Our door is always open for any questions you or your caretaker have about your procedure.
