Can I take Plan B before/after breast augmentation surgery?

This is a great question. I recommend calling your plastic surgeon to see if they authorize taking plan B prior to your surgery, or if they want you to wait until after your surgery. You can also ask your OBGYN. Keep in mind to consult your OBGYN after surgery when you plan to restart your birth control. Also, if your plastic surgeon has you take an antibiotic after surgery, remember this can interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills, so you should use a back up form of contraception.

Opinions vary about whether or not a woman should stop oral contraceptives prior to surgery. Recommendations vary from physician to physician and from procedure to procedure. I would recommend that any questions be directed to one's OB/GYN and or their Plastic Surgeon.

Your plastic surgeon and your OB-GYN will be the best ones to answer your questions. Antibiotics can interfere with birth control.
