Thank you for your question! For my patients having any procedure, I recommend they discontinue medications such as ibuprofen, aleve, aspirin, 2 weeks prior to and 3 weeks post surgery. I recommend discussing specific post op questions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
I recommend contacting your surgeon before beginning ibuprofen as he/she is more familiar with which other medications you are also taking. A different medication may be suggested by your surgeon.
This is something you should discuss with your surgeon who knows you best. For my patients, I want them to wait 2 weeks before taking any blood thinners, however, Tylenol is OK. Good luck.
I would avoid ibuprofen and other non steroidal antiinflammatory medication until cleared by your doctor, as it can increase risks for bleeding. This time frame can vary 1-2 weeks.
Most surgeons are ok with you taking ibuprofen after these operations depending on which medicines you are already on. I would check with your surgeon before adding additional meds.
