I am taking Effexor and Wellbutrin, am I in risk to undergo tummy tuck surgery?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Neither of these medications should preclude you from obtaining a tummy tuck, assuming you are otherwise a good surgical candidate.  Hope this helps.

These medications by no means prevent a safe and successful tummy tuck.  However, I would certainly discuss this with the doctor who prescribed them, as well as your anesthesiologist for the procedure, as sometimes the effects of anesthesia can potentiate a transient depression. Best of luck with your upcoming transformation!

Hello and thank you for your question.  As long as you are in good health otherwise and can obtain medical clearance from your primary physician, then a tummy tuck could be safely performed.  If you are an appropriate candidate, this can be done through a low and short
incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

All medications must be cleared by your surgeon's scheduling department at the time of scheduling. After discussing all the medications, instructions should be given at that point.  There are numerous drugs that need to be stopped prior to any procedures so as not to interfere with anesthesia or the healing process.  

Many people are on these mood -altering medications. There is no problem with surgery and these meds. In fact most of us feel that stopping drugs like these may worsen the overall psychological experience. Talk with your ASPS surgeon

No, you should not be at increased risk. If in doubt, obtaining "medical clearance" from the doctors who   know you best will put your mind at ease.  Best wishes. 

You are not alone.  Many patients who are on these meds have cosmetic and other elective surgery. This should not be a contraindication. However, it is extremely important to disclose the use of prescription medication and the dosages to your anesthesiologist so that this can be taken into account.

These medications should not prevent you from being to undergo a tummy tuck. A full medical history and exam in person are essential first. Good luck!!!

In general, the answer is no; you are not at increased risk to undergo an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) In your best interest, you may want to consult the physician prescribing these medications for medical clearance. A consultation is necessary with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (BC PS) to confirm the history, physical examination, the indications for the procedure and to initiate pre-admission testing. (blood work) Based on these findings, the BC PS will discuss the procedure, risks, and potential alternatives. Best wishes!
