I had surgery today. I have all my prescribed medication. I plan to get off the heavy pain meds on day 3. As for the muscle relaxers, it says when needed. Do I have to take them? I've heard other ladies make them feel groggy. Thanks in advance!

Answer: No Need For Extra Medications Thank you very much for your question, as it is a good one. There is no need to take muscle relaxers or additional pain medications, if you do not feel that you need them. Some doctors do not prescribe muscle relaxers after a breast augmentation, although this is strictly up to the operating surgeon. If you have any further concerns, I recommend reaching out to your operating surgeon. Congratulations on your breast augmentation and best of luck.

Answer: Muscle relaxers Dear missxela,you don't have to take them but most plastic surgeons recommend muscle relaxers to reduce the muscle spasm in the early period after surgery. I would suggest you to follow your surgeon's instructions. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
