Can you get a 8mg steroid injection for joint pain 20 day prior to BBL surgery ?

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Is not recommendable for the surgery. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Kind Regards,

Dear PrettyN81,
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.

Hi PrettyN81, 
If you plan on having anything done in the weeks leading up to your BBL surgery it is best to discuss or ask your surgeon what can be done. You don't want to end up with a preventable complication or a surgery cancellation due to information that wasn't disclosed to your surgical team. Each provider has different policies on medications and treatments allowed before and after surgery so it is best to get your provider's input on the matter.

You should definitely discuss this with your provider.
Some surgeons have strong feelings about not using steroids others are quite liberal with them.
Please check with your plastic surgeon.
Best,
