I am going to have a bl with implant and a tt. I get epidural steroid injections in my spine and am due for one 2 days before my surgery. I have to stop all steroids and anti inflammatories 2 weeks prior to surgery but I have to get the injection in order to sleep on my back after surgery and for pain management. Please advise. Thank you!

Answer: Steroid injection for back pain should not be a problem several days before a mommy makeover operation.
I can't think of any situation that having antibiotics would have a negative effect on general anesthesia. If the antibiotics are treating a specific infection, it is very important for that infection to be fully treated.
These are questions that can only be answered by your specific surgeon. Keep in mind that postoperative management is very important after having an operation. You may want to consider having the procedure done by local plastic surgeon.
Most patients would be advised not to exercise heavily for the first 6 weeks. Each surgeon has their own post operative protocol. If you have any questions about exercise your surgeon is your best resource.
