Took Advil (200mg) accidentally two days before rhinoplasty

In our practice, we would likely proceed with surgery, but this is not my call. Your relationship with your plastic surgeon is of utmost importance. Please call your surgeon's office and let them know. Advil thins the blood, and aside from making surgery more difficult for us, it also increases bleeding which increases nausea and post-operative vomiting. Vomiting can increase pressure and thus increase bleeding even more. I don't think 200mg of Advil would be detrimental, but it is important your surgeon knows going into the case and has the option to reschedule based on his/her protocol. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. First thing I would recommend telling your plastic surgeon. Advil. There could be an issue with blood clotting. The best thing to do is let your plastic surgeon know.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you call your board certified facial plastic surgeon's office because it is important that you two work closely before, during and after the procedure. 
Best wishes,

Advil affects bleeding, and with it there's the potential to have bleeding complications with and after surgery.  Some of these complications can affect your results. I would just let your surgeon know and he or she can decide whether they feel comfortable proceeding or prefer to reschedule.  

As you know, Advil interferes with your ability to clot blood properly. Rhinoplasty is a safe operation, but one of its biggest risks is bleeding.
If I were the surgeon, or even if I were the patient, I would not want to move forward if Advil had been taken this close to surgery. 
 Just yesterday, I canceled the patient who took Advil the day before her surgery. In my opinion, it was the responsible and ethical thing to do. 

 It's always best to check in with your operative surgeon about what their policies are. In our practice, one Advil should not have any detrimental effect to the rhinoplasty procedure

Hello 16281628,Having taken 400 mg of ibuprofen two days before a rhinoplasty, you  need to let our doctor know ASAP.  These medications thin the blood and last for several days in the body.  If you were my patient, I would move your surgery.  The reason is the excess bleeding can affect the ease of the operation and may affect the final result.  That may be hard given the holidays coming up, but it will likely be in your best interest.  I hope this helps and good luck. 

Thank you for sharing your question. As you already know,
Advil is categorized as a blood thinner and is not recommended in the weeks
prior to your procedure. Given that you have already taken the medication, I
would recommend contacting your surgeon to discuss. Depending on the surgeon’s
preferences, he/she may recommend postponing the surgery in order to avoid
complications. Again, the surgeon’s preference is important and he/she may also
be fine with it and move forward as planned. In the future, pay close attention
to your preoperative instructions and avoid blood thinners. Best, Dr.
Griffiths.
