I just had revision art breast surgery today, and my dr gave me a couple days worth of norco. My body is extremely insensitive when it come to all medicine, so he told me to double up on the pills, but now they will be gone twice as fast. Anyway the question is, how long after surgery is it okay to take ibuprofen? Tylenol/aspirin has never helped me even a little

Answer: Advil after surgery? Hello letsdothis123456,Thank you for your question, and I hope you are starting to feel better. In general, I allow my patients to starting taking ibuprofen the day after surgery if they want to supplement them for their narcotic. I have not seen any systemic issues with this technique. Hang in there!

Answer: NSAIDS following surgery When to start Ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) after surgery varies from surgeon to surgeon. I typically allow my patients to start using these medications immediately, but many surgeons prefer for patients to wait several days. It is always best to ask your surgeon as he/she may have encountered something during the operation in which bleeding is more of a concern. Good luck!
