Does Ibuprofen Increase Bleeding Risk after breast augmentation?

March 26, 2019
Asked By:Polly.M in California, CA

Getting a breast augmentation surgery soon. And the surgeon states I cant take any ibuprofen before or after surgery only Tylenol. But doing some research i saw that research shows ibuprofen doesn't cause a bleeding risk. I had 2 ACL repair surgeis and with both surgeries the strong narcotics didn't help with pain just put me to sleep. But when I started taking the ibuprofen the pain became more manageable. Want to know if I can alternate ibuprofen and the narcotic after my breast augmentation?
