Thank you for your question. It is always best to discuss medications with your surgeon. Gabapentin typically does not cause any problems with surgery. Best wishes.

I appreciate your question. Best to speak to the doctor prescribing you this medication, your primary care doctor who will be clearing you for surgery and your surgeon as they are most familiar with your medical history. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. best of luck!

Thank you for your question. In most cases gabapentin does not need to be stopped before surgery, but as this is a very important medication for a number of conditions, it would be best to ask your doctor, as he is more familiar with your complete medical history.

Hi, Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. Having said that, you should speak to your surgeon. Best wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon

It totally depends on why you are taking it and what is recommended by your surgeon and you primary care physician or whoever manages that medication routinely. You just need to ask those physicians. We can't really tell you if you need to be off of that or not in this forum.
