Preparing for Your Breast Augmentation
Patients should stop smoking and using nicotine products 2-4 weeks before surgery. Certain medications and supplements that increase bleeding risk should be avoided for 2 weeks prior to the procedure. Dr. Hulsen will provide a comprehensive list of medications to avoid during your consultation.
Breast Augmentation Technique
Dr. Hulsen uses a meticulous technique to create a precise pocket for the implant, minimizing tissue trauma. A Keller Funnel is used for gentle implant insertion, reducing infection risks and allowing for smaller incisions.

Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activities within 24 hours. Full recovery typically takes 6 weeks, with gradual increases in activity levels. Dr. Hulsen provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
