Is it okay to take Clonazepam 0.5mg (which I am prescribed for as needed for anxiety) 3 days before Breast Augmentation surgery?

It is best to address any pre-operative questions with your Board Certified PS -especially in regards to medications. 

If you are anxious it is perfectly fine to take.  We offer it to our patients who feel overly anxious before the surgery or have difficulty sleeping.

It should be fine especially if you are prescribed this medication on an as needed basis due to anxiety.  Stick to the prescribed dosing.  I would avoid it the day of surgery since the anesthesiologist will premedicate you with anti-anxiety medication before the surgery. 

Check with the same anesthesiologist team who will be providing services and also with your surgeon.  Medications taken preoperatively can affect your anesthesia and should always be reviewed by those providing services for you.Best of luck,

In my opinion it is reasonable to take your anxiety medication.  I would always check with the anesthesiologist and your surgeon to make them aware and to have then render their opinions

This is most likely fine. I give all my patients anti-anxiety medications to be used before and after surgery. I like Valium more, because it is also an anti-spasmodic that can help with any muscle pains or spasms after surgery. Breast surgery usually involves the Pectoralis muscle. Long term use of Valium is not recommended, but it is great in the period around surgery.Check with your doctor first, the answer is most likely yes.Educational writings on breast augmentation might help you.Good Luck!Dr Chris Saunders

You shoud be fine. Always contact your surgeon and anesthesiologist ahead of your surgery. Good luck.

Taking this medication should be ok in your situation, but please ask your plastic surgeon. Best of luck with your surgery!

I would suggest asking your plastic surgeon this question.  Many surgery centers provide their own medication prior to surgery.

Always best to ask your chosen surgeon these pre operative issues. If I were your surgeon I see NO ISSUE, but I am not. So best to call now...
