Hello,I’m wondering why some doctors recommend taking Tylenol the morning of surgery, while others don’t. Is Tylenol safe? Or could it cause any trouble during lipo? I plan on taking Tylenol, bromelain, arnica and hemaplex up until the day of my surgery.
Answer: Taking Tylenol Before Lipo 360 and BBL Thank you for your question regarding the safety of taking Tylenol prior to undergoing Lipo 360 and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). It is generally safe to take Tylenol, which is acetaminophen, before these procedures. Unlike some other medications, Tylenol does not increase bleeding risk. While it may offer minor anti-inflammatory benefits, the overall impact on your surgical experience is likely minimal. However, if your surgeon believes it could be beneficial and provides their approval, there should be no harm in taking it. Thank you for your question regarding the preoperative use of Tylenol before Lipo 360 and BBL. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Say "Yes" to Tylenol! Tylenol has pain relieving and inflammation reducing properties. It isn't the strongest medication for each of these, however, some doctors believe every little bit helps while others think it doesn't make enough of a difference to bother writing the orders for it. It is an integral part of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol (ERAS) which prepares the patient for surgery by reducing the need of other, more aggressive medications such as anesthetics and steroids. Tylenol is safe as long as you don't have any underlying liver disease and I have never expected t it to cause any trouble during liposuction. I have incorporated Tylenol into the pre-operative regimen for my patients and it's been nothing but helpful in the perioperative period.

Answer: Tylenol before surgery Thankyou for your query. It is best to follow your surgeon’s protocol, but tylenol (acetaminophen) does not cause any problems with the procedures you have mentioned, to the best of my knowledge. However, the other supplements you have mentioned, should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Tylenol Tylenol if needed is typically okay to take the days leading up to surgery. Surgeons generally will want you to avoid NSAIDS and aspirin before surgery as they can increase bleeding. If you are having general anesthesia you should not take anything by mouth after midnight the day of your surgery unless instructed to do so by your surgeon.

Answer: Tylenol before surgery Hi Neat837424Every surgeon has its own preference when it comes to pain regimen for surgery. Tylenol is safe before the surgery as long as you have no allergy or liver issues. Also remember to stay within the daily recommended dose. In my practice, I place all my patients on Tylenol. However, is best that you follow your surgeons' instructions. Good luck with surgery.
