I had a mommy makeover on Wednesday. I don't need the pain meds anymore but have menstral cramps and back pain, can I take Advil?
Answer: Advil after surgery Every PS will have a different answer to this question so check with your plastic surgeon! I typically allow patients to take advil or motrin 5-7 days after surgery (after their first postoperative visit).

Answer: Post Operative Recovery Thank you for your question. Typically, NSAIDs are to be avoided 2 weeks post procedure. I would allow Tylenol if the narcotics are no longer needed for surgical discomfort. Speak with your board certified plastic surgeon for personalized post op instructions and recommendations.

Answer: Talk to your Plastic Surgeon about Medication Use Prescription and over the counter #medication use are not a matters that surgeons or physicians than your own can advise on, without seeing you in-person or knowing your #medical history and surgical details. Therefore, its best to ask your surgeon this and about any additional medication use you have concerns about.

Answer: Post operative care Thank you for your question. As each surgeon has their own unique set of post operative instructions, it is always best to consult with your surgeon first. That being said, in our practice we advise patients to avoid taking any blood thinning agents, such as seafood, ibuprofen, aspirin, advil, etc for a minimum of 2-3 weeks post surgery.With kind regards, Lane F.

Answer: Advil? Would need more medical information about you to be able to answer this better. In general it should be fine for you to take advil in the absence of other concerns, but this is an easy one to pick up the phone and ask your surgeons office. Usually there is a medical assistant that can help with this because they will likely have a specific game plan just for you. Hope this helps.
