I take clonazepam for anxiety. Do I stop before my breast implant surgery?

Question

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi Pebbles,Outside of blood thinners, we let our breast implant patients continue with their meds.  However, this is one question for your PS and for you anesthesia provider!  Sometimes we actually prescribe clonazepam preop for patients who need it. Good Luck, Dr. Joe

Brian Coan, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi Daizy, thank you for your question. Please speak with your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist about continuing your medication before your surgery. Best of luck to you!

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

Nope. Don't stop these medications prior to surgery but do inform your surgeon and anesthesiologist. Dr. Burnett

It's usually not necessary to stop clonazepam before plastic surgery . Informing your anaesthetist will help him adjust your anaesthetic drugs .
