Do I have to stop taking birth control pills 30 days before my BBL or it’s not a must?

Question

I’m planning on getting BBL soon and they telling me that I have to stop taking birth control 30 days before the surgery. Is it a must? Cause when I did a rhinoplasty I didn’t have too.

Thank you for your question! For my patients, I require that they stop taking birth control 2 weeks prior to surgery, and 3 weeks after surgery. I recommend discussing specific recommendations and instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Hi. I required my patients to stop taking birth control pills or injections at least 2 weeks prior surgery to avoid the possibility of blood clot formation. Ask your PS.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons
