Do I have to stop taking Adderall for my fat grafting procedure?

This may matter in relation to your overall health and is better properly evaluated by your surgeon and anesthesiologist. Request that your board certified plastic surgeon discuss with his/her board certified anesthesiologist your concern of stopping your on-going and long-term use of the Adderall during and after surgery. The Adderall should not affect the fat survival.

Dear Resourceful899384,
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.

Yes, you will need to be off Adderall for about 1 week prior to surgery for safety for the surgery and general anesthesia. Adderall is an "upper" and can interfere with your blood pressure. It has nothing to do with fat retention.

Taking Adderall for surgery should not be a problem. If you have not yet had a consultation then I suggest doing so and disclosing your full medical history. If you’ve already had a consultation and did not disclose your medications then contact your plastic surgeon and let them know the medications you take.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
