Are there any medication you need to stop before having a breast augmentation done?
Answer: Breast Augmentation Preop GoGirl86. Blood work performed prior to breast augmentation is usually performed to be sure that you are healthy enough to have the surgery and be certain that your blood count is normal and clotting of your blood is also normal to prevent postoperative complications. Discuss these concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Blood tests Hello! What they look for blood tests depends on your overall health. For example, if you are young and do not have any medical problems, you won't need very many blood tests. If you have a history of heart problems, you will get more comprehensive testing. It is important to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon who will take a comprehensive history and provide you with a list of medications to avoid. Good luck! Dr Lee

Answer: What do they look for when doing blood tests for breast augmentation? hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on your question, it is not necessary to look for something specific in a blood test for a breast augmentation, when you are instructed to make a patient a laboratory with this procedure we evaluate that the patient enjoys normal blood levels and inside of ranks, that assures me that the patient will not have eventualities and that it will be safe to surgery since 80% of the patient is evaluated with blood tests.

Answer: Blood tests This question would best be answered by the plastic surgeon you choose. Each surgeon has his/her own protocol of blood work that must be ordered prior to surgery. For example, if you were diabetic we would order a hemoglobin A1C and a letter from your endocrinologist clearing you for surgery. If you had hypo/hyperthyroidism we would perform a TSH. This question all depends on your medical history and what medications you are currently taking. Good luck!

Answer: Health tests required before breast augmentation That's a great question. Then objective of the tests are to ensure you are in good health before your surgery and not at any risk. Yes, there are certain medications you will need to stop taking prior to your surgery, including some health supplements, sometimes even 2 weeks prior to the surgery. Make sure you speak to your surgeon because the protocols vary by surgeon.
