Is that required before surgery? I never have taken any muscle relaxers so I am afraid of any possible side effects.
Thank you for the question. It is rather difficult to fully assess your situation without an in-person examination. Robaxin is not required before a tummy tuck since this procedure is performed under aesthesia. Some surgeons may prescribe this muscle relaxant after the procedure to alleviate muscle spasms. Different specialists have different standards and, as the other respondent has suggested, you may want to verify your surgeon's credentials and make sure that he or she is board-certified. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to assess your needs and obtain reliable medical advice. Best of luck! Dr. Michael Omidi.
