I have been taking zoloft for a little over a year now and have been thoroughly researching the lipo sculpting/bbl procedures... but I'm wondering would I need to have my system cleared of this medication before I was allowed to schedule? What is the procedure for this?
Answer: 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.

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 !

Answer: Anti depressants The anti depressants you currently take would not preclude you from having any surgical procedures. It is important to let your doctors know, but there is no need to de off of them prior to surgery.
