Is it okay to take Melatonin (3mg) at night to help me sleep? (Photo)

January 11, 2015
Asked By:Mal61464 in Great Neck, NY

I'm 3 days post op from Mommy makeover - including BA, hernia fix and Lipo to stomach and flanks. I have stopped taking my Percocet but feel I need a sleeping aid at night, otherwise I wake up at 3 in the morning just because I'm sleeping on my back too long.

When can I start wearing deodorant? (photos)
M. Dean Vistnes, MD - Account Suspended says:

This is a question I would ask your plastic surgeon as he knows the details of your surgery and recovery so far. In general, as long as you do not get deoderant on any incision you should be able to use it now. Good luck, Dean Vistnes.
