She will explain the procedure in detail and set clear expectations. We may order bloodwork and chest imaging to ensure your safety. If gender-affirming surgery is the next best step in your transition, we will schedule your preoperative appointment and surgery date.
Pre-Op
We schedule your preoperative visit 2 weeks before surgery.
During this appointment, Dr. Hunsicker will finalize your surgical plan, answer any remaining questions, and have you sign consent forms. You will receive a surgical care package containing a green smoothie recipe, protein drinks, probiotics, scar cream, and Hibiclens surgical scrub to support your recovery.
Surgery & Follow-Up
Please arrive 2 hours before your surgery to allow for easy check-in.
Post-surgery, we will prescribe antibiotics and medications to support healing and manage discomfort. Dr. Hunsicker and her team will check in with you the following day to assess your recovery. Additional follow-up visits are scheduled at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year to maintain comprehensive postoperative care.

Pre-Care Instructions
We provide a green smoothie recipe and protein drinks to nourish your body before surgery. Proper nutrition is key to supporting a smooth and successful procedure.
Create a recovery-friendly space at home. Use pillows to keep your chest elevated and reduce strain. Plan to take time off work and limit physical activities to promote healing.
Post-Care Instructions
Arrange transportation to and from surgery and the following day for your follow-up appointment. Numbing medication may last up to 3 days. Contact Dr. Hunsicker immediately if you experience bleeding, nausea, or vomiting.
To prevent strain on your incisions, avoid lifting, pushing, or pulling anything over 10 lbs for at least 6 weeks. Also, refrain from lifting your arms, sleeping on your stomach or sides, and engaging in physical activities during recovery.
Recovery takes time. Attend all scheduled follow-up visits. Expect initial bruising and swelling.
Dr. Hunsicker will work with you to select your implant size range before surgery based on the results that you are looking for. Using your pre-operative measurements, she will order a range of implants before your surgery. She can use the sizing of breast implants to choose which permanent implant is right for you based on your input and her artistic judgment.
- Breast augmentation with implants
- Breast augmentation with fat transfer
- Mastectomy with or without nipple and areola resizing or grafting (can be done with nerve grafting to help restore sensation)
We will send you home after a few hours following your surgery. It’s common to experience some swelling and discomfort during the first few days. We provide Exparel to reduce the need for prescription pain medication and narcotics, making for a more comfortable recovery after in Littleton, CO.
You may feel “pressure” in your chest while you heal. A spasm of your chest muscles may occur. The spasms will subside over time.
During the first 2 weeks after surgery, we highly advise wearing an ace bandage to provide adequate support.
