I take (2) 7.5 mg. Meloxicam (Mobic) daily. Should I stop before my facelift and upper/lower bleph? Thanks
Answer: Should I stop Mobic before my facelift? Mobic (Meloxicam) is an NSAID (Non-Sterodial Anti-Inflammatory Drug) that affects a patient's ability to stop bleeding.We typically have our patients stop all NSAIDs, aspiring containing products, and all herbal supplements 10-14 days prior to facelifting procedures to avoid bleeding complications.I hope this helps.

Answer: Stop all NSAIDS prior to Facelift Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, NSAID. These classes of medication must be stopped 7 to 10 days prior to mist surgical procedures, especially facelift surgery. This is because NSAIDs can think the blood making bleeding more likely during surgery. This can lead to a higher incidence of a hematoma. We suggest our patients stop it at least one week prior.

Answer: Yes Meloxicam is an NSAID and these drugs (non steroidal anti inflammatory drug) tend to impair platelet activity. This may lead to more bruising after facelift surgery or even a hematoma. It is best to stop it completely at least a week before your procedure. Best wishes, Dr. T.

Answer: Surgery and medications Hello! To minimize the risk of bruising and bleeding, most surgeons advise at least 10 days off all supplements and pain medications except Tylenol. You can ask your physician if you are appropriate for Celebrex, which is the only anti inflammatory (available by prescription) that has NOT been shown to increase bruising and bleeding. Good luck!

Answer: Should I stop mobic before my facelift? This would be a great question for the surgeon performing the surgery as all surgeons have different protocols. However, Mobic is an NSAID and taking the medication prior to a facelift will increase your chances of developing a hematoma. If you can stand being off the Mobic, I would suggest stopping it 10 days prior to surgery. Best of luck.

Answer: Pre-operative Medications Thank you for your question! I would advise that you speak with your surgeon concerning which medications should be stopped before surgery. I will have my patients stop all NSAIDS (Mobic is an NSAID) 2 weeks before surgery, as they can thin the blood and increase your risk of bleeding. Again, however, I would discuss this with your surgeon and be sure to review all medications (prescribed and over-the-counter) with him/her, as well.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
