Hitting the gym doesn’t sound like it should be on the top of the list on how to prepare for a breast augmentation, but it should be. Prepping your body and mind for plastic surgery could actually help you get ready for your big day and recovery.
Prep Your Body
Fun fact: living a healthy life can help you be healthy. It seems so simple, but it doesn’t exactly hit home for everyone. In fact, staying in shape and even training for your boob job could actually make recovery easier.
If you’re already a relatively healthy person, you’re off to a great start. The basics of how to prepare for breast augmentation are pretty simple. Get a little exercise, stop smoking, eat good foods, get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. You know, all of the things you should be doing anyway. This might be a good time to shed a few pounds if you’ve been thinking about it.
Preparing your body for your boob job should be a no-brainer
Prep Your Brain
Prepping your mind for surgery can be just as helpful as getting your body ready. Be Zen about your boob job by talking everything over with your plastic surgeon ahead of time, doing your homework on the procedure and setting realistic expectations for your recovery. You’re not going to be diving back into your normal routine right away, so pass on Pilates right after surgery. But hey, all the more reason to treat yourself to some much-needed R&R, right?
