I am having severe nausea from the oxycodein prescribed to me so I instead took Ibuprophen once and I feel a lot better. Pharmacist said it was better than the Tylenol. Should I stop taking the ibuprofen since I'm reading that Tylenol is better for post-op?

Answer: Ibuprofen for after surgery. Hello kimi1125. Ibuprofen is not recommended in every case of breast augmentation. While some surgeons approve, the only person who can approve it in your case is your PS. I suggest you reach out to them before doing anything else. Best, Dr. ALDO.

Answer: What would happen if I take Ibuprofen after surgery Thank you for your question. I would certainly stop with your oxycodone if its giving you that degree of side effect. If you were in significant pain I would recommend speaking to your plastic surgeon to change your prescription pain medication, but if you are tolerating over the counter medications, and I recommend you using what works best for you. I typically tell patients to take the medication that works best for them for muscle soreness.
