Answer: I have surgery Dec 3, I took ibuprofen the 28th. Should I cancel surgery? No, you should be fine. The pre-operative as well as post-op instructions should have been given to you by your Board Certified PS's office during your pre-operative visit.. That include: what you should discontinue prior to surgery; what will help to minimize the swelling and bruising; compression garment info, etc..Please, contact you Board Certified PS office -- if you have not received those instructions.

Answer: No need to cancel There is no need to cancel your surgery. The blood thinning effects are gone 6 hours after taking ibuprofen. Aspirin is different, you need to stop that a week prior to build up a new population of platelets. Definitely stop the smoking as this has a documented adverse effect on healing amongst many bad effects of the body. Pineapple juice OK, but avoid a lot of dietary supplements as some have been shown to increase bleeding. Your plastic surgeon will help you fine-tune these details on your preoperative visit.
