Is it ok to have my nuva ring (birth control) in during a tummy tuck and breast augmentation?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Though there is a risk of increased complications with contraceptive use, the risk is often small enough that patient's do not stop their birth control for surgery.  That said the best determination would require knowledge of your full medical history, especially with regards to smoking as the combination of smoking with birth control has a greater risk of clot formation.  DIscuss this with your surgeon. 

Hello and thank you for your question.  Please call your surgeon immediately.  Many surgeons recommend stopping this for one month prior to surgery.  Every surgeon has their own protocol, but safety must be your top priority.
Best wishes and good luck.
