Answer: Should be fine Each plastic surgery office has their own guidelines on managing medications around your surgery. The concern with oral contraception is a potential increase in developing blood clots. This risk is increased during general anesthesia and in tummy tucks. That being said, there are no consensus guidelines. In my practice, I recommend stopping oral contraceptives two weeks before surgery and after surgery.
