Can I take a Valium a few days before my mommy makeover surgery?

Prescription and over the counter #medication use are not a matters that  surgeons or physicians than your own can advise on, without seeing you in-person or knowing your #medical history and surgical details. Therefore, its best to ask your surgeon this and about any additional medication use you have concerns about.

My answer would likely be yes. I don't see a problem with half a Valium to calm your nerves.  However, I would definitely recommend checking with your plastic surgeon prior to doing so.  I'm sure you have chosen your surgeon because you are comfortable with him and confident in his work.  Just relax and have trust in him.  I'm sure you will do great.  Best of luck!

Valium alone is a pretty safe med that is commonly taken around the surgical time but it's always best to check with your surgeon prior to taking any meds leading up to your procedure 

Thanks for a great question.  Your anxiety and nervousness is very common with patients that have upcoming surgeries.  I would recommend you call your Plastic Surgeon and ask for his/her advice regarding taking the Valium or they may recommend a different medication.  It is important to discuss any medications, supplements, and vitamins that you take with your surgeon to make sure there aren't any interactions with the prescriptions you will be taking after surgery.

Thanks for your inquiry.  I recommend that you discuss taking the Valium with your surgeon, if you were my patient it would be okay, but remember you cannot drive or operate heavy machinery, etc while on the medicine.
