I take bioidentical progesterone cream along with bioidentical testosterone cream because I am perimenopausal. I am having breast implant surgery next Friday Nov 15th. Is it ok to continue this? I did not see it on the list of medications to stop using from my surgeon.

Answer: Medications This question is best answered by your surgeon as opinions vary. It is important that your surgeon is aware of all prescription, over the counter, and supplements that you take. This is for your safety. Though it may be fine for you to continue with your HRT it is best cleared by your surgeon.

Answer: HRT and breast surgery Taking HRT increases the risk of blood clots minimally, but this is not typically a high risk surgery for that happening, so there should be no problem continuing. Just be sure to avoid any cream on the chest or trunk the day of surgery so it doesn't interfere with the sterile prep or placement of EKG leads.
