Breast augmentation and meds

We give our patients a 3 page list of medications to avoid. I think both the Fioricet and iron are OK. Good luck.

Migraine medicine

Should be fine. Some migraine medicines contain aspirin which I like to stop 2 weeks before surgery. Good Luck!

Iron and Fioricet Prior to Breast Augmentation

The iron is OK. The Fioricet contains acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine. These should not affect bleeding risk, but your plastic surgeon knows your complete history and should be notified. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Usually that is ok, but it is best to call you surgeon. Best regards, Dr. Lane Smith

Okay to Take Fioricet for Migraine

This should not be an issue with your upcoming surgery. Although many combination meds contain aspirin or ibuprofen, this does not. All the best.

Fioricet and Breast Augmentation

Dear Courtney54186, Fioricet should be OK before your surgery but the only person who can truly answer your question is your plastic surgeon. Give them a call.

Fioricet before augmentation

You should let your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist know about the use of the fioricet and let them make that decision. It is important for them to confirm that the medication does not contain any vasodilators. Best of luck.

Medication before Breast Augmentation

Fioricet contains acetaminophen, which does not affect your blood's ability to clot. You can take it before your surgery. Medications to avoid during the 10-14 days before surgery are mainly those that contain aspirin or anti-inflammatories like Motrin, Advil, ibuprofen, naproxen, Alleve, etc. It's also fine to take iron. Be sure that your surgeon and anesthesiologist know all your medications at the time of surgery. Good luck!
