Dear Surgtroop,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
This is a question only your operating surgeon may answer. Some physicians are a bit cautious of using steroids prior to surgery due to the slight increased risk of infection.Best wishes.Dr. Taranow
