Can I take Loratadine before mommy makeover surgery?

Thank you for your question.  Please ask your surgeon about this.  This is always best.

Prescription #medication is not a matter other 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

I would touch base with your surgeon and anesthesiologist.  It should be OK but they need to be aware of all medications.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Taking Loratadine should not impact your safety or your MM results.  As always it is important to inform your surgeon and anesthesiologist of all prescription, herbals, supplements, and OTC medications you take.  Hope this helps.

I appreciate your question.



Please discuss this question with your surgeon.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. Loratadine is typically safe to take prior to surgery. However, it is best to ask this question to your board certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and good luck with your procedure!

I am not aware of any contraindication to taking Loratidine prior to surgery, however, your surgeon and your anesthesiologist should know about this medication so they can be sure it doesn't interact with any medications they may be planning to use during and after your surgery.  Best wishes.

It's essential to follow your plastic surgeon's pre-operative instructions carefully, including any guidance regarding medication use before surgery. However, loratadine is generally considered safe to take before surgery, as it is a non-drowsy antihistamine commonly used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose.If you're unsure whether it's safe for you to take loratadine before your mommy makeover surgery, it's best to consult with your plastic surgeon or the medical team responsible for your care. They can provide specific guidance based on your medical history, any other medications you may be taking, and the planned surgical procedure.

All your questions should be directed to your surgeon for the best outcome.

Hope this helps.
