I used Meth 26 hours before my Breast Augmentation. What are the dangers?

Question

Christopher V. Pelletiere, MD · Answer

Any drug use prior to surgery, prescribed or illicit, needs to be brought to the attention of the doctors that are going to be taking care of you and actually doing the surgery.  There are increased chances of bleeding throughout the surgery, as well as an inability to control pain afterwards with regular post-op pain meds.  I would disclose this information to your surgeon at once and let them guid you.  Keeping it from them can only lead to unwanted problems down the line.  I hops this helps.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Speak with your surgeon regarding any mediation / drug you take. A full health history must be recorded and assessed by the surgeon and anesthetist prior to surgery. Drug contraindications are extremely important.All the Best.

There are many dangers of using meth even without surgery.  When you combine it with anesthetics, medications that affect your heart rate, metabolism, etc.  You could die, have infections, poor healing, implant extrusion, and an increased risk of every other complication possible.  Street drugs are not clean and there may be other potential toxins that can cause problems.  Please consider a drug rehab program.

Alyssa,A lot of bad things can happen. Anesthesia during your surgery can become dangerous due the unpredictable nature of your body withdrawing from the methamphetamines.  Meth also compromises your ability to heal your wounds and your chance for post operative infections.I would recommend you discuss this with your plastic surgeon immediately and seek counseling regarding your drug habits.Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA
