This may be up to the surgeon’s discretion, but would my IUD interfere at all with a mommy makeover? I have the Mirena
Answer: Mommy makeover with an IUD Having an IUD should not interfere with having a mommy makeover. The Mirena IUD releases a very low dose of hormone, and these types of hormones (particularly higher doses associated with oral birth control pills or postmenopausal hormone replacement) have been associated with higher risk of developing blood clots in your legs or lungs (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT; and pulmonary embolism, or PE). As with any patient undergoing multiple surgical procedures like a mommy makeover, it is always critically important to start walking right away after surgery, to help prevent blood clots from causing problems.Be sure to mention that you have the Mirena IUD when you talk with your plastic surgeon, so that you can best be advised on your preoperative preparation and postoperative expectations.Hope this helps, and best of luck,Dr. Lim

Answer: Mommy makeover and IUD You should be able to safely have the Mommy Makeover procedures with your IUD in place. Be sure to mention it when you speak with your surgeon, along with all medications and supplements that you take.

Answer: Mommy Makeover and Mirena IUD If you have a Mirena IUD and are considering surgery of any kind, including a Mommy Makeover, it's best to tell your surgeon. The Mirena IUD has progesterone, so it could put you at a higher risk for developing a blood clot in your legs. While having the Mirena IUD doesn't mean you can't undergo surgery, there are certain recommendations as far as post-operative care you should follow to help reduce your risk for developing blood clots.

Answer: IUD and surgery An IUD does not interfere with having a mommy makeover or your recovery. You do have to make sure your surgeon is aware an follow his/her post-op instructions closely. Walking after surgery will be very important to reduce the risk of blood clots. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: IUD Thanks for the question.In general, an IUD won't interfere with a mommy makeover.Since mirena has progesterone, it may put you at a higher risk for developing blood clots in your leg. Make sure you let your surgeon know you have a Mirena IUD, so that he can develop a plan to reduce your risks after surgery.Here are a few recommendations that surgeons give to reduce a patient's risk after surgery.1) Get up as much as possible and walk after surgery.2) Stay hydrated.3) Compression socks may be used for a few days after surgery.4) Some surgeons may also prescribe a mild blood thinner after tummy tucks to reduce blood clot formation.The mirena IUD is usually not removed around the time of the surgery.Good Luck!
