Answer: Contraceptive hormones and surgery it's always a good idea to be off hormones if possible before surgery. Contraceptive pills and implantable devices (excluding iud's that do not elude medicine) all affect estrogen and or progesterone levels. Changes in estrogen levels have been associated with blood clots. So....if possible....taking a break from the contraceptive medications around surgery (4weeks before to 2-4 weeks after) decreases your risk of clots. Discuss with your surgeon of choice for specific planning.Cheers

Answer: Implanon in arm: Can I have BBL surgery? Because of an increased association between estrogen and blood clots it's always preferable to be off any form of estrogen for 2- 4 weeks before and after surgery. Having said that, assuming that you are in good health, you should be able to undergo a BBL. Consult with a Board Certified PS with lots of experience performing BBL surgery Good luck!
