Ibuprofen Intake Post Plastic Surgery Procedure?

December 8, 2008
Asked By:ms8172 in Indiana

I just had tumescent Smart Lipo done on my abdomen and a male breast reduction. My doctor said that I could take Ibuprofen after the surgery. After I did some research, this does not seem to be a good idea. I am 3 days post-op and I want to know, will the first 3 days of taking Ibuprofen affect my results? I just stopped taking it.
