Percocet and liposuction

I do not think it is a good idea to be on any medication like Percocet before surgery. Yes, after surgery i will often give patients pain medication like Percocet.  But, during surgery they may interfere with drugs that the anesthesiologist uses. You should definitely let your surgeon know about this.
