Answer: Mommy Makeover and birth control Typically, when planning for a Mommy Makeover or any elective surgery, it's recommended to discuss your birth control regimen with your surgeon during your pre-operative consultations.

Answer: One Month Prior to Surgery In general, any estrogen or progesterone replacement or supplement should be stopped one month prior to surgery. This is to decrease the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Depending on your other risk factors for surgery, you may or may not want to proceed with surgery, especially traveling. If you do decide to travel, make sure that you are walking every two hours to prevent blood clots.

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.
