Is it okay to take Benadryl 11 days before my breast augmentation mastopexy surgery with underarm liposuction?

Thank you for your question.  My advice is to communication all medications that you are taking prior to your procedure.  That being said, I ask that my patients avoid asprin and ibuprophen products and that over the counter benadryl is an acceptable medication prior to surgery.  Best of luck.

Hello, generally Benadryl won't affect surgery but it's wise to discuss all medications with you surgeon preoperatively.  Also if you are taking Benadryl due to an allergic reaction or other health problem it is best to advise your surgeon.

I would permit my patients to take Benadryl before cosmetic breast surgery, if desired. It's always a good idea though to keep your surgeon in the loop with your medications prior to surgery. Hope this information is helpful.
