Do I have to remove my mirena IUD for lipo and BA?

No you don't have to remove you IUD. A couple of times a year patient come in for surgery and the pre-op pregnancy test gives us a really big surprise. So in some ways you could say that that IUD will guarantee that no surprise happen at the time of surgery. Good luck.

Dear Neka,    As long as you do not have any side effects from your IUD like bleeding, PID, breasts tenderness etc., you can keep it on place. The more important issue for you should be selecting the right plastic surgeon. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeon who operate in accredited surgery center. Check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive.              Best of luck,                                   Dr Widder

Hi, thank you for the question.... For a Plastic surgery procedure you do not need to remove your IUD before the procedure. 

No you do not need to remove your IUD before this surgical procedure. You should confirm with your chosen surgeon. Best of luck 

I certainly would not ask you to remove this before an elective breast augmentation. However this will be the decision of your surgeon.

Personally I would not recommend removing the mirena IUD unless there was some underlying reason to do so. Your PS is best to advise. 

The IUD is not a problem. The surgery won't be anywhere near. Do check with your gynecologist to be sure that your IUD doesn't need to be replaced anyhow.

No, you do not need to remove your IUD before having surgery. Plus, surgery would be cancelled should you get pregnant.

There should be no impact of the surgery on the IUD, and no impact of the IUD on the surgery. This question comes up a lot in my practice.
