Can I do mushrooms before a breast augmentation?

Hello,Your Plastic Surgeon will certainly appreciate you letting them know about any and all substances you've been taking and will certainly advise you not to take mushrooms or other drugs before or after your surgery. Safety is extremely important for any Plastic Surgeon and hopefully is for you as well.All the best

Thank you for your question. Avoid mushrooms as well as any smoking. This could possibly mess anesthesia, you want to try to avoid this to make sure there are no problems the day of surgery. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Thank you for your question and your honesty. It is best to avoid this for your own safety. Also discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Were you expecting anyone on here to condone your use of drugs prior to surgery?!? I would advise you stay away from anything around the time of surgery that could compromise your surgical results or safety. It's not worth it!Be safe!

It's a profoundly stupid question. I do not condone any illegal drugs ever! Especially before elective surgery. The contents of your drugs could kill you during Anesthesia. If you were my patient- and I knew this- I would cancel the surgery

It would be unwise to use any recreational drugs prior to elective surgery.  This is because some drugs interfere with the medications used in anesthesia.  There can be interaction between these drugs and you can have a medical complication.   Please be smart and decline the mushrooms!

No reputable surgeon would condone using illicit agents, especially before surgery.  Do your body and your surgeon a favor and maintain abstinence from anything that could interfere with the medications that will be used during surgery.

Hallucinogenic mushrooms, or psilocybin, impact brain activity and could very well interfere with the anesthesia or IV sedation that will be administered to you during your breast augmentation surgery. It’s simply not worth the risk to your health and wellbeing. It’s great that you’ve been able to stop smoking cigarettes and marijuana, and I encourage you to maintain smoking abstinence after your procedure in order to support your healing. Smoking can lead to complications as well as delaying the healing process.

We provide our patients with a list of substances that we do not want them to ingest for 2 weeks prior to surgery. This includes at least 60 things such as aspirin, ibuprofen, herbs, vitamin E, fish oil and energy drinks. Mushrooms would also be on our list if the subject came up. It will be important for you to have this discussion with your doctor.

Real Self demands that answers be at least 100 words so I'm  going to drag this out a bit. No, you shouldn't use mushrooms before your surgery.
