Will I be ok for surgery?
Answer: Breast Augmentation and Excedrin Hello, and thank you for your question! Taking Excedrin before your surgery may increase the risk of bleeding since it makes it harder for your blood to clot. The risk is not huge, but I strongly urge you to tell your surgeon as soon as possible, as they may feel more comfortable postponing the procedure for your safety. Excessive bleeding around the implant can increase risk of capsular contracture or firmness around breast implants. Minimal bleeding will optimize factors enabling you to attain the best results.

Answer: Ask your surgeon. Aspirin greatly reduces your bodies ability to form clots and prevent bleeding. Even a small amount of excess bleeding in the implant pocket increases your chances of developing a capsular contracture that may require additional surgery.It is important to remember that this is an elective procedure-you want all factors optimized for the best outcome. If you were my patient I would insist on waiting at least another week before proceeding- the risk on needing additional surgery is too great.I hope this helps

Answer: Excedrin tdaker If you're willing to take a little bit of a chance, then you could go forward with the surgery. That said, I generally am very conservative and would delay the surgery for another couple of weeks... I know that's not what you'd really like to hear, but..."better to be safe, than sorry". Make a good decision!
