Is it safe to have plastic surgery with an birth control implant in the arm?

You should stop taking birth control pills and estrogen replacement therapy about four to six weeks before surgery because of the risk of blood clots. If your surgeon advised you to stop, then please listen to them.

In most young healthy patients, the increased risk for blood clots from birth control does not place the patient into the moderate or higher risk categories.  Your surgeon should be bale to determine your risk and advise appropriately.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

There should be no problem with an implantable means of birth control in your arm.  Any form of birth control can be associated with an increase in the risk of blood clots, but this is not specific to the method (pills, arm implant, etc) of birth control you take.
