Answer: Stopping birth control prior to surgery Estrogen containing oral contraceptives can increase your risk for blood clots in the legs or lungs (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus, respectively). As such, surgeons often recommend stopping them, and three weeks before and three weeks after is a reasonable timeframe.

Answer: I'm scheduled for a tummy tuck tomorrow. I did not stop birth control pills. Should I be worried? It depends upon the amount of estrogen in the pill. Your plastic surgeon's preoperative instructions would have told you if you needed to stop them.
