Antidepressants & Risk of Hematoma for Breast Augmentation

February 15, 2024
Asked By:Little89 in Avon Park, Florida

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’ve been off it for months but would like to go back on it to manage my anxiety. I’ll wait until after surgery to start if it will prevent complications but if it makes no difference I can start med now
