How long after surgery I need to be off phentermine after Breast lift?

Question

I am curious to see how long after surgery I need to be off phentermine? I stopped 2 weeks before & I am now 3 days post op. Is it safe to start them up again? Thanks!

I recommend patients stop for 1 month before and not resume for one month after surgery. Some surgeons are very particular about meds you take around the time of surgery. It's best to ask your PS. Best, Dr. ALDO.

Thank you for your question.  I would wait at least 8-12 weeks before starting a weight loss supplement.   Ask your surgeon for his or her recommendations when to restart.

I would recommend stopping 1 month before surgery and 1 month after surgery to ensure the safest results.

I recommend that my patients discontinue diet medications and supplements 2 weeks prior to surgery and for 2 weeks after surgery. These types of medications can increase bleeding during and after your procedure.
