Anti Depressants (Zoloft) and Lipo/BBL surgery. Is taking anti-depressants ok or would one need to get off of them beforehand?

Generally, anti depressants shouldn't need be discontinued prior to surgery, but without your history and understanding dosage, I can't speak to your specific case. It's always very important that you disclose your complete history and medication usage to your doctor for the best care.

Dear PoisonX,Thank you for your story. It's always best to ask your Plastic Surgeon these questions yourself. Unfortunately without access to your total past medical history I can advise you in general terms, however I hope you will find them helpful.1) consult with the Doctor who is prescribing your Zoloft2) inform your chosen Plastic SurgeonZoloft is a commonly prescribed medication that I am unaware of any effect on a surgical procedure.I trust that you have chosen a Plastic Surgeons who is experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally they are members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Thank you for your question.You should continue with your regular anti depressants. You should, however, have a detailed discussion with your Plastic Surgeon as well as the anesthesiologist regarding your medications as well as your health. All The Best !
