After my Breast Augmentation: When can I take any medication as before?

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



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 and congratulations on your recent breast augmentation.In my practice, most patients can resume normal medication use by the three week post-operative mark.  This can include for breast augmentation patients use of NSAIDs, vitamins, etc... With that said, cases and situations do vary and I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon if there is any question regarding medication use at this time.  I hope this helps and best of luck on your recovery!

I feel that it is safe for my patients to resume any medication they wish as early as the 5th day after breast augmentation surgery. It's always best to check with your surgeon about his or her protocol. Good luck and feel better.
