User Avatar

I have recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I am taking lithium 600 mg per day. I have wanted to get my breasts done for a few years, my size and shape have changed after pregnancy and I am not satisfied with the way they look. I really want this procedure, but I Will be concerned if I cannot take my medication. Do you think the surgery will be possible?
