I Am on Mirena IUD Can I Get Surgery?

Question

I am currently on Mirena IUD. I would like to know if I can get a Brazilian Butt Lift with this device still inside me during surgery?

Andrew Jimerson, MD · Answer

Usually there is no reason to remove your Mirena IUD prior to surgery.  I recommend all my patients have preoperative clearance from their physician and most do not suggest removing this method of contraception.

Carlos Lopez Collado, MD · Answer

I do not require the removal of the Mirena for this surgery. The risk of pregnancy during your recovery period is higher than the thromboembolism that could be caused with the surgery while having the IUD.

Daniel Greenwald, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

There is no reason you can't have a butt lift while wearing your IUD.  Check with your OB/GYN to be sure, but this is generally not an issue.
