Preparing for Breast Implant Surgery in Los Angeles

When you request your consultation online you can save up to $150 on your consultation at select times our surgeons have set aside. Your consultation with Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker is your first step in preparing for your breast enhancement procedure in Los Angeles. At your consultation, you'll have time to discuss all your options – from implants to incisions to anesthesia – and create the right surgical plan as a team. If any questions arise after you have consulted with your surgeon, call Marina Plastic Surgery at 800.763.9968 for answers.

Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker will give you detailed instructions prior to surgery. These will include guidelines for eating, drinking, exercising, smoking and taking medication. It's important to follow their advice as your actions in the days and weeks leading up to surgery will affect the healing process.

It's likely you'll be scheduled for surgery at the Marina Outpatient Surgery Center, the fully-accredited facility located in the UCLA Medical Building in Marina del Rey where most of Dr. Stevens' and Dr. Stoker's procedures are performed. After a short recovery period there, you'll be released to relax for a few days.

The staff at Marina Plastic Surgery will assist you in making decisions about your care immediately following surgery. Like many patients, especially those who choose to fly to Los Angeles for breast implant surgery, you may decide to spend that first night at a recovery center nearby. Or, you may opt to have a friend or loved one pick you up and stay with you at home. If you have small children or pets, you'll need to ask someone you trust to give you some help with them for a few days.

Another key step in preparing for surgery is to plan ahead for some extra comfort during your recovery. Just follow Charlie's recipe and you'll find the days after surgery not just smooth, but relaxing and invigorating too. You may feel rested and ready to show off your new figure sooner than you think.

Recipe for a Smooth Recovery

Have on hand:

  • A clean, welcoming house
  • Help with kids and pets
  • Movies, books and magazines
  • Ice packs in case of swelling
  • Fresh linens and pillows on the bed
  • Prescription pain relief & ibuprofen
  • Favorite foods (not too heavy)
  • Comfortable clothes

Prepare and combine all ingredients. Rest, relax and enjoy your new figure!

If you'd like to be extra confident you've covered all the bases, just ask to speak directly with one of Marina Plastic Surgery's extended family of Southern California breast implant patients about their recovery. You'll find yourself ready in no time.
