Dear breemixx27,birth control pills increase risk of blood clots so most plastic surgeons recommend their patients to stop using them prior to surgery. But every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Birth control pills increase your risk of blood clots. The risk is low of developing a symptomatic clot with a BBL but would be increased slightly with someone on birth control pills. Some surgeons require patients to stop taking them prior to surgery others explain the risk and decide along with the patient whether to stop. Discuss this with your surgeon. Best of luck.
Birth control pills may increase your risk of developing a deep vein thrombosis. You should ask your surgeon if you should stop taking them.
Hello Yes, you have to stop taking them at least month before the procedure to prevent complications and risks during and after surgery. Good luck :)
Thank you for your question. I myself don't require patients to stop taking birth control but have known of surgeons who require patients to stop using hormonal contraceptives at least 30 days prior to surgery.
