When taking plaquenil and contemplating breast augmentation surgery, alway best to have your surgeon and rheumatoid doctor coordinate you care.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

The best advice is to have your plastic surgeon and rheumatologist speak with one another about your medications. They will come up with a plan as to when and if to stop as well as when to resume the medications.

Usually most anti-clotting meds can be stopped 2weeks to 3 days prior to surgery. But this all depends on the reason for the plaquenil. Consult your rheumatologist and your ASPS surgeon for complete safety.
