Please speak with your primary care physician(s) to determine whether a tummy tuck is safe for you, and make sure to discuss your medical condition with your plastic surgeon before proceeding.
Taking these medications should not prevent you from having a TT, but your board certified PS may ask for clearance from the physicians who are prescribing these medications. Share with your PS and anesthesiologist whether you are taking the drugs in an off-label use or to treat specific health issues.
Dear Dancemom6,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.

There are certain medications that you should NOT take before a tummy tuck and certain medications we WANT you to take before the procedure. The 3 listed medications should not be a problem, please check with your board certified plastic surgeon about their requirements before the procedure.Good Luck!
