I am a 24 year old healthy female who is going in for vaser liposuction on my chin, the procedure will take less than an hour and I am on the birth control pill cerazette which is a progestogen only pill and have been told I need to stop taking it 2 weeks before my surgery, I have been on this pill for 4 years now and if I stop it my hormones will mess up again, do I really need to stop taking it?
