Hello, I’m interested in breast augmentation.. Will 10 mg of Lexapro affect a breast augmentation surgery or make a hematoma more likely to occur? *I will be going to a double board certified plastic surgeon for the procedure but don’t know if I should avoid this medication until after surgery.

I’ll wait until after surgery to start if it will prevent complications but if it makes no difference I can start med now
