Should I stop taking any of these medications before a BBL?

Question

I am currently on Seroquel and Ambien XR because i'm a chronic insomniac, and am also on Clonazepam for anxiety and also helps for sleep, I am also on Prozac and Wellbutrin for depression. I really need to take the medication I need to sleep. so Is it ok to continue on those but stop the rest?

Thank you for your question.You should discuss your concerns, regarding the medications, with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Anesthesiologist and your primary care Physician.  All The Best !

It's a great question. I would speak with your surgeon about their recommendations. Any decision to discontinue medications prior to surgery should be guided by your plastic surgeon in close consultation with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Thank you so much for submitting your questions. 
Prior to your procedure you should review all of your medications as well as medical issues with your surgeon and anesthesiologist. That being said, looking over this list of medications there should not be any issues with any of them prior to surgery.

Thank you and I hope this answers your questions.

It is always advisable to review all of your pre-op medications with your surgeon/anesthesiologist. A thorough medical history is an essential component of developing an operative plan.However, that being said, none of the listed medications should interfere with your planned procedures.As always, discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

None of medications you take will negatively interfere with anesthesia and postoperative recovery. You need to discuss your medication schedule with your surgeon and anesthesia provider before surgery and confirm their safety. good luck.

Thank you for your questions. Your surgeon should be discussing with you what medications you can keep taking and what medications you need to stop before your procedure. If you are not getting this level of care from your surgeon, you have chosen the wrong surgeon.Hope this helps!Dallas R.
