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

April 29, 2020
Asked By:Brave625980 in New York, NY

The surgeons assistant told me to get off Spironolactone a month prior to surgery and the Birth Control 2 weeks prior. My concern is that I have been on Birth Control for at least 14 years. I have read there are risks of blood clots especially with Tricyclen, I take tri lo sprintec which I believe is the same thing. I am so scared to the point I may even cancel my surgery now because I am scared of blood clots and death. Can you please give me some advice on this matter?
