How do you prepare?
Come to consultations at Bagatin Clinic prepared to talk about your health. You need to talk about diseases that you suffered from, the current state of health, allergies to medications, breast biopsies, and medications you are taking. It is important to provide complete information. Tell Dr. Bagatin if you are planning to go on a drastic diet, especially if you notice that your breasts reduced from your diet. Maybe the doctor will recommend you to first stabilize the weight, and then come to surgery. The doctor will recommend that you make a basic mammogram prior to the operation, and other mammography examinations a year after the surgery. The previously described examinations can detect any future changes in tissue. After breast reduction you will still exam breasts by yourself. Breast reduction surgery will reduce the chance of breast cancer.
Six weeks before the procedure it is necessary to stop smoking. Two weeks prior to the operation stop taking aspirins, herbal supplements or any other supplements, and certain medications that inhibit the formation of inflammation, because their contents can cause significant bleeding.
