I was told by my PS to not take birth control 2 weeks prior to lipo + bbl. My GYN thinks my PS only means pills because they have a way higher risk for blood clots (and something about estrogen levels) than the depo which I am currently on. If I get my next scheduled depo shot it will still be in my system at time of surgery.
