My breast reduction is scheduled for tomorrow, but I did undergo a colonoscopy 3.5 weeks ago due to some go symptoms that are now mostly resolved. The colonoscopy came back normal so no worries there. I just wanted to know that it's okay to proceed with surgery. I am 26 years old-- just wanted to note my age.

Answer: Check with your surgeon! It should be totally fine for you to have a breast reduction after a colonoscopy 3.5 weeks ago, as long as the sedation you received was uneventful and you are otherwise healthy. You should definitely check with your surgeon in case he/she or your anesthesiologist wants to review the anesthetic record from your colonoscopy prior to your general anesthesia for your reduction.

Answer: Preoperative protocol Dear Jubilant167564, every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
