Should I stop taking Adderall for 3 months before getting a BBL in Colombia?

Thank you for your question! For my patients, I advise they stop taking Adderall 2 weeks prior to and 3 weeks post op. I hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for your question. Every surgeon has different preop protocols and recommendations before any procedure, I recommend you to ask again your plastic surgeon. 

Dear Humorous958147,
Every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

First and foremost you should consult a board certified plastic surgeon. You should also discuss this with your primary care physician. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation .

I do not recommend anyone travel for elective surgical procedures. This is just one of the glitches you’re going to encounter. Expect more.The decision and your management are going to be in need to be decided by your provider. If your provider doesn’t answer appropriately then that’s who you’re dealing with.You on the decision and the consequences of going to a country where you don’t speak the language to have elective surgery.No one is going to answer your question because it’s inappropriate for us to do so.The only person who can address this is your surgeon.my recommendation is to stay local.People do not appreciate the importance of in person consultations, the complications actually do happen and the number of people who have serious concerns after surgery and need revisions.Granted it is possible to manage all of these by traveling back-and-forth.It simply is far from ideal. Considering how many talented surgeons there are in the United States I simply said no need to travel for surgery unless Columbia is your home in which case I would think the language barrier shouldn’t be an issue.I suggest contacting your provider again. If they don’t respond to your email then it confirms how that provider manages their practice and their commitment to patient care.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
