Elevated Liver Values and Breast Reduction?

User Avatar

My pre-op blood work came back normal, except for elevated liver enzymes. My primary care and the plastic surgeon both independently suggest this isn't something to be concerned about with regards to breast reduction surgery. In my best guess, the values are a result of having recently used Wellbutrin or using Ibuprofen for treatment of genuine migraines. I do enjoy having a liver, so I'm concerned about that the ramification might be to my liver of post-op pain meds. Any thoughts here?
