Dear Diligent796016,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

You need to discuss resumption of Saxenda injections with your PS. If you had reached your goal weight prior to the 360 BBL and maintained it for six months, you should not need an appetite suppressant. Healthy people at their ideal weight should have the best overall recovery, but some of this will depend upon the surgical technique and adherence to postoperative protocols. You do not want to jeopardize the end results of your TT which you may not see for 3 to 6 months or impede wound healing. Now is the time to allow your body to heal by eating a well balanced healthy diet with 100 grams of protein a day and resuming exercise as your PS permits.

While there are no contraindications for surgery while on Saxenda, you must be aware of the possible side effects including hypogylcemia (low blood sugar) which could be a very dangerous conditions especially while not being allowed to eat for at least 8 hours prior to any surgical procedure.
Make sure to inform you surgeon of all medications you are taking.

This is something you should discuss with your primary care doctor or whoever is prescribing the medication and your plastic surgeon. If you don’t have a plastic surgeon then you should have multiple in person consultations and choose one.

Each plastic surgeon will have their own protocols and recommendations. Often patients are asked not to take the medication immediately before surgery.
