When can I begin to take NSAIDS after an abdominoplasty?

This is a question that should be
directed at your surgeon, as different surgeons have differing opinions on this
matter. In my practice, I recommend my patients wait two weeks after surgery before starting
to take NSAIDS. Best regards.

PS differ in their approach to using NSAIDS after surgery.  NSAIDS help decrease inflammation but also interfere with your bodies normal ability to make a blood clot and stop bleeding.  I personally do not recommend anything that may cause or contribute to excess bleeding for a minimum of 2 weeks after surgery or after your drains are removed.  Each PS surgeon varies in their approach.  It is best to have your PS guide you as they know what they did and what your bleeding risks are as well as have a preference.  They will also be the ones taking care of you should you have a postsurgical bleeding complication.

In my practice you would be permitted to reason your medication immediately after and abdominoplasty. However this is instruction that you should get from your own surgeon.
