What are the impacts of taking blood thinners after surgery? Do they contribute to capsular contraction? Should I even consider taking Ibuprofen? How soon is too soon?

Answer: Capsular contracture Dear kharis,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Most will recommend you to avoid blood thiners and Ibuprofen. Capsular contracture affects people approximately one in 20. No one knows exactly what causes it and what can prevent it completely. It's important for your doctor to use a minimal incision and a Keller funnel as a sleeve to protect the implant from touching anything before goes into the breast pocket. Singulair has been shown to prevent it.

Answer: Ibuprofen I prefer my patients to stop Ibuprofen at least 2 weeks prior and a few weeks post operative. It is important to follow your surgeon's protocol for medications following surgery and I would contact their office for further clarification.
