Am I safe to get Lipo 360/BBL after being on birth control and Spironolactone? Surgery is in 2 months' time

Hello! Each surgeon has their own protocols for pre operative and post operative care. I would suggest discontinuing both for one month prior to surgery. If you are worried I suggest talking to your chosen surgeon. Best of luck. 

Use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of blood clots, and patients may be advised to stop taking these one month prior to liposuction. Ask the doctor prescribing the spironolactone to order a potassium test before surgery; then discuss both medicines with your board certified PS to determine what he/she recommends based upon your medical history.

Hello dear!
Thank you for your question and provided information as well..
Every doctor has different protocols for their patients so.. I recommend you to talk with your plastic surgeon. If you're not feeling safe and want to wait a couple of weeks more, do it. Know that this decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.   
Hope this helps and best of lucks.
Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear Brave625980,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol, which he recommends to his patients. Most plastic surgeons will recommend you a list of medicines and supplements which should be avoided prior to surgery. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

In San Francisco we’re not doing elective surgical procedures at the time and I would guess that in New York its the same. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having a formal in person consultation prior to having these procedures.You should be having this discussion with your surgeon not his or her assistant.This really isn’t the best time to be having cosmetic surgery.In many parts of the country we’re not doing any elective surgery because of our commitment to controlling COVID-19 epidemic.You have a lifetime to think about these things. Why not put on the brakes or at least have a one on one discussion with your surgeon.Some plastic surgeons ask patients to come off birth control medications some do not.You should without question follow your doctor‘s recommendations.Personally I do these procedures with my patients awake using local anesthesia with mild sedation so I’m less concerned about patients developing blood clots because they have the ability to move during the procedure.Please call your plastic surgeon and talk to him or her about your concerns.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
