Is it OK for me to have a breast reduction and lift with medication I have to take?

Thank you for your question.
With the medications you take, it would be best to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns. You will likely meet with both your PCP for medical clearance as well as your anesthesiologist who will give you information regarding the procedure and how those medications will effect it. Likely, they will have you stop these medications within a certain time frame pre-operatively in order to reduce the risk of bleeding and complications.

Hi,
Thank you for the question.
It is typically safe to perform breast reduction surgery when patient is on those medications, but I would discuss it first with your primary medical doctor.
Sometimes Aspirin can be held prior to surgery to minimize the risk of bleeding.
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Reduction surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz
