Goldberg, MD \u2014 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon \u00b7 Last reviewed July 16, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the day of breast augmentation surgery like?<\/strong> It&#8217;s usually calmer than patients expect. The day includes a final sizing check, a short wait, anesthesia, the procedure itself, and waking up in recovery, followed by clear going-home instructions and a follow-up call the next day. Nerves are completely normal, and most patients feel far better afterward than they feared.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re picturing the day of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdanamd.com\/procedures\/breast\/breast-augmentation-in-florida\/\">breast augmentation<\/a>, here&#8217;s a realistic, step-by-step look at what to expect from arrival to heading home.<\/p>\n<h2>Before Surgery: Confirming Your Size<\/h2>\n<p>Many patients finalize their size at the pre-op visit by trying on different implant sizes. As one patient put it, having a number set in her head beforehand changed once she tried on the options and saw what actually suited her body type and how active she is. If you haven&#8217;t yet, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdanamd.com\/for-patients\/resources\/breast-implant-sizers\/\">breast implant sizers<\/a> explains how this works.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Wear on Surgery Day<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing what to expect on surgery day includes something simple: what to wear. Choose loose, comfortable clothing and a top that opens in the front, like a button-up or zip-up, so you won&#8217;t have to lift anything over your head afterward. Flat, slip-on shoes are ideal, it&#8217;s best to leave jewelry and valuables at home, and your office may ask you to skip lotions, deodorant, or makeup that morning.<\/p>\n<h2>Nerves Are Completely Normal<\/h2>\n<p>Feeling nervous and excited the night before is normal. Many patients don&#8217;t sleep much, mostly out of anticipation to see the result. If you&#8217;ve watched other people&#8217;s surgery videos and worked yourself up, know that many patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the day actually is.<\/p>\n<h2>Anesthesia Is Very Safe<\/h2>\n<p>Anesthesia is understandably a common worry, but it&#8217;s generally very safe. As Dr. Goldberg reassures patients, the risk from anesthesia itself is extremely low, and many anesthesia risks are genetic, so if your family hasn&#8217;t had problems with anesthesia, it&#8217;s very unlikely that you will. Your team reviews your history carefully beforehand.<\/p>\n<h2>During Surgery: Finalizing the Result<\/h2>\n<p>During the procedure, your surgeon continues to refine the plan for the most natural, balanced result, including confirming the exact implant size for each side and checking symmetry. This attention to detail during surgery is part of achieving a result that looks natural and even.<\/p>\n<h2>Waking Up and Recovery<\/h2>\n<p>Most patients wake up feeling better than they expected. It&#8217;s normal to feel a little tender, to notice it&#8217;s slightly harder to take a deep breath at first, and to have a dry mouth from the anesthesia. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable they feel. It&#8217;s best not to rush to peek at the result right away; there&#8217;s plenty of time as swelling settles.<\/p>\n<h2>Going Home<\/h2>\n<p>Before you leave, the surgeon gives the okay and your team reviews your instructions. You&#8217;ll have a ride home, since you can&#8217;t drive after anesthesia. Patients are often given a small patch behind the ear to help with nausea from pain medication; it&#8217;s typically kept on for about a day, and you should wash your hands after removing it so nothing gets in your eyes. The office follows up with a call the next day to check on you.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>So, what should you expect on your surgery day? It&#8217;s a well-organized, reassuring day, final sizing, anesthesia, the procedure, and a recovery that most patients find more comfortable than expected, capped by clear instructions and a next-day check-in. A consultation is the best way to understand exactly how your own day would unfold.<\/p>\n<p>  <!-- ============ CTA BUTTON (Option A \u00b7 refined solid) ============ --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#faf3f6; border-radius:8px; margin:44px 0 8px; padding:48px 30px; text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px; font-size:0.88rem; letter-spacing:0.16em; text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:700; color:#9B2D5E;\">Palm Beach County &middot; South Florida<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 auto 28px; max-width:540px; font-size:1.6rem; line-height:1.4; font-weight:500; color:#2b2b2b;\">Ready to take the next step toward your breast augmentation?<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drdanamd.com\/contact\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#9B2D5E; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1.5rem; letter-spacing:0.1em; font-weight:700; padding:24px 66px; border-radius:3px;\">Schedule Your Consultation<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<p>  <!-- ========== END CTA BUTTON ========== --><\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the day of breast augmentation surgery like?<\/h3>\n<p>The day includes a final sizing check, a short wait, anesthesia, the procedure, and waking up in recovery, followed by going-home instructions and a next-day follow-up call. Nerves are normal, and most patients feel more comfortable afterward than they expected. You&#8217;ll need a ride home.<\/p>\n<h3>Is anesthesia for breast augmentation safe?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, anesthesia is generally very safe, and the risk from anesthesia itself is extremely low. Many anesthesia risks are genetic, so if your family hasn&#8217;t had problems with anesthesia, it&#8217;s very unlikely that you will. Your surgical team reviews your history carefully before surgery.<\/p>\n<h3>How is implant size finalized on surgery day?<\/h3>\n<p>Size is usually confirmed at the pre-op visit by trying on sizers, and your surgeon fine-tunes the final choice during surgery to ensure symmetry and a natural result. Trying on sizes often changes the number patients had in mind toward what truly fits their body and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h3>How will I feel after breast augmentation surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Most patients wake up feeling better than they expected. It&#8217;s normal to feel tender, to find deep breaths a little harder at first, and to have a dry mouth from anesthesia. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable they feel, so try not to rush to see the result immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the going-home instructions after breast augmentation?<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need a ride home since you can&#8217;t drive after anesthesia. Patients often receive a patch to reduce nausea from pain medication, worn about a day, and are advised to wash their hands after removing it. The office calls the next day to check on your recovery.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I wear the day of breast augmentation surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Wear loose, comfortable clothing and a top that opens in the front, such as a button-up or zip-up, so you won&#8217;t need to raise your arms overhead afterward. Choose flat, slip-on shoes, leave jewelry at home, and follow any office instructions about avoiding lotions or deodorant that morning.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article is for general information only and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice.
