Is it a good idea to start birth control before BBL? Worried about clots

Thank you for your question. If you are not actively taking birth control now, it's best to wait and start after surgery. Hormone therapy can increase risk of blood clots during surgery. And of course, It's always advisable that you consult and discuss this with your prescribing doctor as well as with your surgeon.

Thank you for your questions, you need to suspend birth control pills before the procedure. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thanks for your question. It will be better to start the birth control pills after your BBL procedure and use other contraceptive methods till then. Please discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeon who can guide you. All the best!

Dear Genius191099,
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.

It is absolutely not a good idea to start birth control pills before a BBL operation.
We advise you to give a break to the oral contraceptives before liposuction and body contouring operations.
