Gregory T. Lynam, MD · Answer

Should be fine. Some migraine medicines contain aspirin which I like to stop 2 weeks before surgery. Good Luck!

You should ask your surgeon whether Fioricet and iron are fine before your breast augmentation. You should discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor prior to your surgery. However, they should be fine.

Usually that is ok, but it is best to call you surgeon.

Fioricet contains acetaminophen, which does not affect your blood's ability to clot. You can take it before your surgery. Medications to avoid during the 10-14 days before surgery are mainly those that contain aspirin or anti-inflammatories like Motrin, Advil, ibuprofen, naproxen, Alleve, etc. It's also fine to take iron. Be sure that your surgeon and anesthesiologist know all your medications at the time of surgery. 

	Good luck!

The iron is OK. The Fioricet contains acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine. These should not affect bleeding risk, but your plastic surgeon knows your complete history and should be notified. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
