I am going to have a face, neck and forehead lift as well as a bit of CO2 laser resurfacing in a few months. I am on the bio identical HRT estrodial patch and also progesterone and DHEA. Do I need to stop all of this before surgery - and how soon? Do I need to taper off or can I just stop?

Answer: Advice Thank you for your question.Normally for surgery the patient has to suspend any Medication that might lead to excesive bleeding during surgery, speak to your Doctor and Anesthisiologist to get their point of view on this issue.

Answer: Should HRT be stopped before surgery In our practice we ask all patient to get off of aspirin, ibuprofen products, vitamin E and herbal supplements. There probably won't be a consensus on this issue, but to prevent bleeding during the facelifting procedure is probably best to stay off the bioidentical hormones and DHEA for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the surgery.
