How long after TT surgery do I have to wait to resume HRT?

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

This is a great question but it needs to be answered by your surgeon as opinions may vary. The main reason for stopping the medication prior to surgery was to keep the risk of blood clot formation from elevating. Your surgeon will inform you when it is safe for you to resume.

tntntwins    Hi There , Thank You for Your Question Most Doctors have they own protocol on each individual according to his or her medical history , the Risk of a blood clots that can damage your lungs,  because of the HRT must be the reasons your PS give you those directions , and he only he should be the one who tell you when can you resume HRT , this is a life threat situation so I advise you must follow the orders your PS give you . 

Hi dear, thank you for your question.If you're a patient with risk of DVT I recommend consulting your PS before getting back to the HRT. However, I find that a week or two after and before surgery is fine, some doctors decide to keep the HRT and add anticoagulant to prevent any further complication.Hope this helps!Dr. Jimenez Toribio Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.

How long to stay off hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after surgery depends upon the reason it had to be stopped for surgery in the first place.  The most likely reason would be that HRT is a risk factor for DVT/PE (blood clots in the legs that can travel to the lungs and cause lung damage or even sudden death).  There are many other things that can also affect your risks for DVT which need to be taken into account to answer your question.  It would be best for you to ask your plastic surgeon, since he/she knows more about your risk factors than those of us in this forum.

Dear Tntntwins,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. I suggest that you check with your surgeon directly to answer this question. Good luck!
